Northern Ireland Protocol

Proceeding contribution from Mark Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 July 2021. It occurred during Backbench debate on Northern Ireland Protocol.

On those last two points about no new regulatory barriers and the checks on goods going between GB and NI, will the right hon. Gentleman confirm, as it would be helpful for the House, that there were already checks on animal health, given that the island of Ireland was a single animal health zone? Is he saying that the checks that already existed pre-Brexit are not encompassed by his point, and he is talking about new checks that have come along as a result of us leaving the European Union?
