Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Windsor Framework, publish on 27 February 2023, what criteria the Government plan to apply to determined which elements of EU law will be retained in Northern Ireland and which will be disapplied.
Answer
Only the absolute minimum (less than 3%) 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, alongside its unfettered access to the UK internal market. The rules that are disapplied are set out in the legal instruments giving effect to the Windsor Framework.
