Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of the UK leaving the EU on the future of the single energy market on the island of Ireland.

The Department recognises the unique issues raised by the Single Electricity Market on the island of Ireland, and is committed to continue working with the Northern Ireland Executive, the Irish Government and with the EU to make sure that Northern Ireland continues to have access to an affordable, secure and sustainable supply of energy for business and domestic use.
