Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government what powers, beyond monitoring, will be given to the Office of the Internal Market under paragraph 52 of the Windsor Framework.
As set out in paragraph 52 of the Windsor Framework the Office of the Internal Market (OIM) will make full use of its remit by specifically monitoring any impacts for Northern Ireland arising from relevant future regulatory changes.
Furthermore, the Government has committed that, in cases where Northern Ireland authorities request that the OIM specifically investigate a concern about a future UK regulatory change, we will provide a full response to any OIM report, taking into account the real-world impacts the report raises.
