Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether, under the Windsor Framework, individuals in Northern Ireland will be able to import seeds and plants from Great Britain.
Instead of full EU certification, all plants and seeds will move under a similar mechanism to the UK-wide plant passport scheme, in line with traders throughout the UK.
That means rather than paying £150 per movement into Northern Ireland, growers and businesses serving NI consumers can pay £120 a year to be part of the UK scheme, as they did before the Protocol came into force.
Scheme membership allows traders to print official labels for plants moving within GB, and under this new scheme, to NI.
These seeds and plants will be delivered to a registered business to be able to be sold onto NI consumers.
This process will be virtually the same as what is needed for plants moving from Cardiff to Birmingham now.
