Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the additional cost of labelling goods for internal UK trade as a result of the Windsor Framework.

The Windsor Framework introduces ‘not for EU’ labelling requirements for certain goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland when using the Retail Movement Scheme from 1 October 2023. To protect the UK internal market, and to avoid burdens on business from the potential need for separate product lines for UK goods, the UK Government also intends to require ‘not for EU’ labelling across Great Britain from 1 October 2024 for the same set of goods. We will consult with the Scottish and Welsh Governments, and with industry on the detail of how best to implement GB-wide labelling. We will then produce impact assessments in the normal way.
