Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what the (a) contact details, (b) office address, (c) staffing complement and (d) operating budget of Intertrade UK is; and whether minutes of that body's meetings are published.

This Government is committed to implementing the Windsor Framework and taking all steps necessary to protect the UK internal market. To that end, I confirmed the appointment of Baroness Foster as Chair of Intertrade UK on 19 September. The body is in the process of being established and more details of how it will operate to facilitate and boost trade across the UK will be announced in due course.
