uin	HL6172
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>The Windsor Framework significantly expands the range of businesses who can benefit from trusted trader status. Businesses throughout the United Kingdom will now be eligible - moving away from the previous restrictions that required a physical premises in Northern Ireland. Criteria for businesses to qualify includes basic record keeping of goods movements, a good compliance record and no history of serious criminal offences related to their economic activity. There is no threshold for a business to be eligible for the scheme.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/03/2023 12:11:16 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

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

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what documents will need to be completed by pet owners in Northern Ireland to enable them to bring their pets to and from Great Britain under the Windsor Framework.
tabling member printed	Lord Weir of Ballyholme
uin	HL6174
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2023 answer text <p>There are no documentary requirements whatsoever for Northern Irish pets moving to Great Britain and back to Northern Ireland. Pet owners in Great Britain will be able to travel with their pets without costs, burdens or health treatments. For pet owners visiting Northern Ireland from Great Britain, the only requirement will be to confirm that the pet is microchipped and will not move into the EU. This will be in the form of a travel document issued for the lifetime of a pet, available online and electronically in a matter of minutes; or an equally seamless process built into the booking process for a flight or ferry. This avoids cumbersome bureaucracy and unnecessary checks, meaning efforts can be focused on real-world welfare, disease or smuggling risks with checks on Great Britain-Northern Ireland movements, operating on a risk and intelligence-led basis.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL6175 question first answered 20/03/2023 12:13:30 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Weir of Ballyholme
uin	HL6017
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2023 answer text <p>Only the absolute minimum (less than 3 percent) of EU law continues to apply in Northern Ireland. This is to avoid a hard border and maintain Northern Ireland's unique access to the EU market, alongside its unfettered access to the UK internal market. Under the Windsor Framework, more than 1,700 pages of EU law will be disapplied for UK internal trade.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/03/2023 17:40:21 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

As we set out in the Government's Command Paper, for some arrangements we will provide time for businesses and operators to prepare - as on parcels, where the arrangements will be in place from October 2024. Others will be phased, as we have set out for the agrifood retail green lane. And some can be taken forward straight away, as with legislation to ensure that Northern Ireland will be able to apply zero rates of VAT to the installation of energy-saving materials.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/03/2023 17:45:20 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
