Marion Fellows (Scottish National Party - Motherwell and Wishaw)
Question
to the Northern Ireland Office:
What recent discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the effect of the UK Internal Market Bill on Northern Ireland.
Answered by Robin Walker
The UK Internal Market Bill is economically important for Northern Ireland. It ensures direct trade from Northern Ireland to Great Britain will continue as it does now, delivering this Government’s clear commitment to provide for unfettered access in legislation.
But the Bill’s significance is not just economic. The Government is taking powers in reserve to create a legal safety net that guard against the harmful legal defaults in the Protocol, in the event that agreement with the EU is not reached in Joint Committee discussions.
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland speaks frequently with Cabinet colleagues on a range of matters including these points.
