Select Committee Inquiry
2 Jun 2026
Article 2 of the Protocol/Windsor Framework
Northern Ireland Scrutiny Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 9 Jul 2026)


The Northern Ireland Scrutiny Committee is conducting an inquiry into Article 2 of the Protocol/Windsor Framework (Article 2 WF), the so-called 'non-diminution of rights' provision.

The Committee will examine the scope and implications of Article 2 WF on Northern Ireland and the wider United Kingdom. In light of the recent Supreme Court decision in the Dillon case, the Committee is also interested in the enforceability of Article 2 WF in UK law, as well as the UK Government’s, EU’s, and civil society’s expectations of its operation and application.
