Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government which (1) Heads of State, (2) Prime Ministers, and (3) Presidents, have written to the Foreign Secretary about the Government's proposal to disapply certain parts of the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland.

As the Foreign Secretary said in her statement to the House on 17 May, the UK has been in discussions with the EU for 18 months to find a negotiated solution that will deliver on the objectives of the Protocol. In recent months, the Foreign Secretary and FCDO ministers have discussed our shared response to Russia/Ukraine, building closer economic and security relations as well as UK concerns with the NIP with EU Member States' governments. Those exchanges continue.
