Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what proportion of goods movements from Great Britain to Northern Ireland between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024 were made under the UK Internal Market Scheme.

HMRC published trade statistics for goods moving into Northern Ireland from Great Britain for the period from January 2024 to 31 December 2024 on gov.uk. They can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/summary-of-movements-of-goods-into-northern-ireland-from-great-britain-2024/summary-of-movements-of-goods-into-northern-ireland-from-great-britain-2024-commentary. This information does not include a breakdown of movements made under the UK Internal Market Scheme as these movements can include mixed consignments, with goods either being 'not at risk' or 'at risk' of entering the EU. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a direct split.

The government remains committed to the smooth flow of goods within the UK internal market, including the guarantee that 80% of freight movements will move within the UK internal market system. The Independent Monitoring Panel reported that for the period 1 January-30 June 2025, this guarantee was met and published the basis for its assessment accordingly.
