question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the enhanced economic value to Northern Ireland of "privileged access” to (1) the UK homes market, and (2) the EU single market, as described by the Prime Minister on 28 February, compared to the ordinary access enjoyed elsewhere in the UK.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hoey
uin	HL6085
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2023 answer text <p>The Windsor Framework maintains the full, unfettered access for Northern Ireland firms to the whole United Kingdom market. As we make clear in the Command Paper, that trade with Great Britain is by far Northern Ireland's largest market and East-West trade is the principal arterial route of Northern Ireland's economy. That is why the Windsor Framework locks in unfettered access to that market for NI firms on a permanent and ongoing basis, and smoothes the flow of internal UK trade from Great Britain. At the same time, it secures maximum free trade and market access for NI firms by ensuring full access to the EU market as well.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 15/03/2023 17:25:52 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Baroness Hoey
uin	HL6035
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2023 answer text <p>The Windsor Framework restores the balance needed to uphold the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement in all its dimensions. It puts in place a new legal and constitutional framework, changing the text of the treaty and scrapping more than 1,700 pages of EU rules on internal UK trade.</p><p>While we have been upfront that this does not remove EU rules entirely in Northern Ireland, the less than 3 percent of EU rules which remain are the minimum necessary to maintain maximum market access and free trade for NI businesses.</p><p>The changes we have made include the Stormont Brake, which enables amended or replaced EU rules to be vetoed where they would have significant and lasting effects on everyday lives. This is in addition to the existing veto the UK has for new EU rules. This ends the automatic presumption of dynamic alignment of EU rules.</p><p>The draft legal instruments underpinning the package are set out in full on the Government's website.</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-windsor-framework</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 15/03/2023 17:09:27 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
