Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what assessment he has made of the impact of the Windsor Framework on trade between Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Government is committed to the UK internal market. That commitment was set out in Labour’s manifesto and we have made meaningful progress on it.

We have established Intertrade UK to promote trade across the full UK internal market. Over 15,000 businesses are now registered to use the UK internal market scheme to benefit from trading across all four nations.

Earlier this month, an independent report confirmed that 96% of goods moving between Great Britain and Northern Ireland did so within the UK internal market.
