Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what are the costs to date of implementing the Northern Ireland Protocol and Windsor Framework.

In accordance with the Statement of Funding Policy on funding the devolved governments, the Government maintains its commitment to fund direct costs associated with reaching the required level of compliance to implement obligations under the Windsor Framework. A full breakdown of devolved funding can be found in Block Grant Transparency, the next update to which will be published in due course.

The Government will continue to provide a range of support to businesses and traders to facilitate the smooth flow of goods, reflecting our commitment to both the Windsor Framework and the UK internal market.
