Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether any plants or trees will be banned from being brought into Northern Ireland under the Windsor Framework.

We have paved the way to allow 11 banned plant species to move again by the time of the next planting season. Those were priority cases identified by industry itself, and we will progress further cases wherever there is industry appetite. These have not been able to move from Great Britain to Northern Ireland since the Protocol came into force. Two species - Ligustrum japonicum and L. delavayanum - are already able to move following the Windsor Framework.
