Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what actions they are taking to reach agreement with the European Union on the issue of veterinary medicine supplies for Northern Ireland.

A grace period arrangement for veterinary medicines remains in place until the end of 2025 and provides for the continuity of supply to Northern Ireland. Maintaining availability of veterinary medicines to Northern Ireland after the end of 2025 is a priority. This Government continues to progress work on this issue as quickly as possible and engage with the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries to fully understand the potential impacts.

The Veterinary Medicines Working Group, including experts, industry representatives and elected representatives, was also re-established to advise the Government on this matter.
