Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill

I am glad the hon. Member mentions the issue of Northern Ireland. I raised the point in Committee that with EU law applying

in Northern Ireland, the importation of trophies could be done through the Irish Republic into Northern Ireland and then across to Great Britain—a back-door way of circumventing the important provisions of the Bill. What assurances have we had that that back door can be firmly locked so that trophies cannot come through Northern Ireland into the rest of the United Kingdom?
