uin	HL6398
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2023 answer text <p>Northern Ireland is not part of the EU Single Market, it is part of the United Kingdom and its internal market. An absolute minimum (less than 3 percent) of EU law continues to apply in Northern Ireland, to avoid a hard border and maintain Northern Ireland's unique access to the EU market. But alongside this Northern Ireland has full unfettered access to the UK internal market. And under the Windsor Framework, more than 1,700 pages of EU law will be disapplied for UK internal trade. The rules that are disapplied are set out in the legal instruments giving effect to the Windsor Framework.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/03/2023 17:16:21 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
