Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what processes will be required to enable (1) plants, and (2) trees, that are allowed to be transported to Northern Ireland for end use to qualify for Green Lane movement under the Windsor Framework.

The Government will set out further details of the specific operational arrangements under the Windsor Framework in due course. But as set out in the Command Paper, instead of full EU certification, all plants and seeds, including seed potatoes, will move under the framework of 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 Northern Irish consumers can pay £120 a year to be part of the UK scheme.
