Some practical information will need to be provided electronically on movement of goods West-East, but Northern Ireland will have tariff-free access to the whole UK market.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 05/11/2019 16:56:25 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
