Written Question
Water Supply: Northern Ireland
Thursday 11th January 2018

Asked by: Daniel Zeichner (Labour - Cambridge)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what assessment his Department has made of the potential effect of a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland on the interface between the operation of water regulations in the UK and the Water Framework Directive in the Republic of Ireland.

Answered by Robin Walker

As the Government has made clear we are committed to avoiding a hard border and preserving North-South cooperation. We welcome the inclusion of these vital objectives in the UK EU Joint Report.


Our commitment to protect North-South cooperation applies to the full range of activity, including water quality management, an agreed area of cooperation for the North South Ministerial Council.
