Ministers and officials are in regular discussions with our counterparts in the Northern Ireland Executive to discuss agri-food trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Our Command Paper, The Northern Ireland Protocol: the way forward (CP502) notes that the use of appropriate labelling would be one means of ensuring the destination of agri-food goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
