Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions she has had with her EU counterpart on the impact of the Northern Ireland Protocol on Northern Ireland trade.
This question was answered on 8th March 2022
On 21 February, my Rt Hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary and Vice President Maroš Šefčovič co-chaired the Ninth Withdrawal Agreement Joint Committee in Brussels.
The Protocol is not working for the people of Northern Ireland and is threatening political stability. The EU needs to show flexibility to urgently resolve the issues to protect the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement.
