Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Command Paper Safeguarding the Union (CP1012) and the Written Answer from Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent on 4 March (HL14474), when their commitment in Annex B to publish a series of papers that make the case for Northern Ireland’s place in the Union will be delivered.

The Government is continuing to make progress on the implementation of the commitments made in the Safeguarding the Union command paper, and to protect Northern Ireland’s place in the UK Internal Market.

The Government regularly publishes papers and strategies that demonstrate Northern Ireland's value to, and place in, the Union. For instance, the Modern Industrial Strategy – published in June 2025 – and the Northern Ireland Defence Growth Deal – published in April 2026. The Government remains focused on delivery, and will continue to provide further updates on specific commitments as and when they are implemented.
