A business case for the construction of SPS inspection facilities in Northern Ireland will be prepared. I will provide an update to the House in due course.

The latest information available as to costs borne by DAERA is set out in my answer to the Rt Hon member for Lagan Valley of 28 November to PQ 92116.
