Written Question
Borders: Northern Ireland
Wednesday 20th January 2021

Asked by: Steven Bonnar (Scottish National Party - Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

What recent discussions he has had with devolved Administrations on the December 2020 Northern Ireland Protocol agreement with the EU.

Answered by Robin Walker

I was pleased that we could agree a fantastic deal on the Protocol in December. It delivers on the commitments we made to the people of Northern Ireland, maintaining unfettered access, protecting Northern Ireland’s place in the UK Customs Territory, and ensuring that Great Britain to Northern Ireland trade flows as smoothly as possible.

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland is in constant contact with the Executive on matters relating to the Protocol, as was the case throughout the Transition Period. This includes regular engagements with the First and deputy First Ministers, as well as cross-Government forums like the EU Exit Operations Committee and JMC(EN).
