question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what are the (1) opportunities for, and (2) restrictions on, consumers in Northern Ireland seeking to (a) purchase, and (b) have delivered, (i) plants, (ii) trees, and (iii) seed potatoes, from Great Britain under the Windsor Framework.
tabling member printed	Lord Weir of Ballyholme
uin	HL6173
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>Under the Windsor Framework, growers in Northern Ireland can access seed potatoes from GB which remain prohibited in Ireland. This was not possible under the old Protocol. Garden centres, farmers and gardeners can access GB plants, trees and other products considerably more easily than in Ireland. Instead of full EU certification, all plants and seeds, including seed potatoes will move under a similar mechanism to the UK-wide plant passport scheme, in line with traders throughout the UK. That means rather than paying £150 per movement into Northern Ireland, growers and businesses serving Northern Ireland consumers can pay £120 a year to be part of the UK scheme.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/03/2023 16:45:45 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
