Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of barriers to trade between Northern Ireland and Great Britain that would remain following implementation of the Windsor Framework.

The Government is unequivocal in its commitment for unfettered access for Northern Ireland goods to the whole UK market. That means a permanent guarantee of being able to place goods on the UK market in all scenarios - meaning no forms, checks, controls, tariffs, or any barriers to the market whatsoever, whatever the future form of regulations in Northern Ireland. Those are protections that are enshrined in law and which we will build on further following the Windsor Framework.
