question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the proposed Windsor Framework on the level of impact on businesses of the regulatory compliance required for the movement of (a) agricultural and (b) other goods from (i) Northern Ireland to Great Britain and (ii) Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
tabling member constituency	Gordon
tabling member printed	Richard Thomson
uin	164013
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2023 answer text <p>The Windsor Framework removes an extensive range of bureaucracy and checks that the old Protocol otherwise applied for internal UK trade. The green lane will mean that goods being sold in Northern Ireland will be freed of unnecessary paperwork, checks and duties, using only ordinary commercial information rather than customs processes or complex certification requirements for agrifood. In contrast, trade moving into the EU will be subject to normal third country processes and requirements. We have also secured full unfettered access for Northern Irish firms to the whole UK market. This provides a fundamental change to smooth the flow of internal UK trade.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 21/03/2023 17:20:17 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>The Windsor Framework removes any requirement to provide export declarations, or any equivalent information, for businesses moving goods from Northern Ireland to Great Britain.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>As was the case with the arrangements in place before Brexit, the Windsor Framework respects that the island of Ireland has for decades been treated as a single epidemiological unit, which involves specific requirements for the movement of livestock. The UK and EU had already agreed in 2021 a variety of arrangements to simplify the movements of livestock, and we will continue to work closely with the livestock sector in Great Britain and Northern Ireland to support the smooth flow of livestock movements.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 20/03/2023 15:08:36 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
