Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to he Windsor Framework, published on 27 February 2023, what assessment he has made of the effect of the Framework on time-sensitive exports coming from Northern Ireland, including ready meals, via Holyhead to the south east of England.

The Windsor Framework guarantees unfettered access for Northern Ireland's businesses to the UK market on a permanent basis. This removes any proposed requirement to provide export declarations, or equivalent information, for goods moving from Northern Ireland to Great Britain.
