Written Question
Agricultural Products: Northern Ireland
Friday 12th April 2024

Asked by: Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what checks or compliance procedures are required for the movement of agri-intermediate goods or inputs, such as grain for animal consumption, from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.

Answered by Lord Douglas-Miller - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The arrangements for moving plants and plant products for production, such as animal feed, are set out in detail on the GOV.UK pages covering movements into and out of Northern Ireland. That includes details of the unfettered access for Northern Ireland goods to the whole UK market, as well as the support services available under the Trader Support Service and the Movement Assistance Scheme for movements into Northern Ireland from Great Britain. In relation to these movements, it should be noted that animal feed for use on premises located in Northern Ireland benefits from a wide-ranging sectoral exemption that enables it to be classified as ‘not at risk’.

Written Question
Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership: Northern Ireland
Tuesday 9th April 2024

Asked by: Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the differences in effect of the application of the entirety of the Trade (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) Act 2024 in England compared to its partial application in Northern Ireland.

Answered by Lord Johnson of Lainston - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)

Northern Ireland (NI) is in the UK's customs territory and therefore NI traders benefit from UK trade deals including the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-pacific Partnership (CPTPP). The rules of origin within the deal are clear - NI goods are treated the same way as goods from any other part of the UK.

Our analysis is that this trade deal will increase Northern Ireland's Gross Value Added by around £70 million relative to 2019 values. NI exporters will benefit from these new opportunities: Well over 99% of UK goods exported to CPTPP member countries, including goods from Northern Ireland, will be eligible for zero tariffs.
