Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the Commissioners of Irish Lights will remain responsible for lighthouses and other marine navigational aids in and in waters around Northern Ireland when the UK leaves the EU; and if he will make a statement.
The Commissioners of Irish Lights have responsibility for aids to navigation for the whole of the island of Ireland and are accountable to the UK Department for Transport for their operations in UK waters.
No change to this arrangement is envisaged when the UK leaves the European Union.
