Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the total cost of the arrangements for trading between Great Britain and Northern Ireland borne by (1) His Majesty's Government, (2) the Northern Ireland Executive, (3) other Northern Ireland public authorities, and (4) the private sector.

The Department for Business and Trade does not hold comprehensive data on these matters. The UK Government is committed to implementing the Windsor Framework in good faith and protecting the UK internal market. Windsor Framework implementing arrangements have been designed to ease the flow of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and reduce administrative and other business burdens.
