Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of goods bought by Northern Ireland manufacturers from Great Britain will have to pass through the Red Lane and require full customs paperwork.

The Windsor Framework significantly expands the range of businesses, including manufacturers, who can benefit from the Green Lane.

We are increasing the threshold for processing companies - quadrupling the current £500,000 limit up to £2 million, meaning four-fifths of manufacturing and processing companies in Northern Ireland who trade with Great Britain will automatically be in scope.

For traders unable to use the Green Lane, we will establish a new, comprehensive tariff reimbursement scheme for those who can show the goods were ultimately not destined for the EU, which will be available from 30 June.
