Command Paper Safeguarding the Union

Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 6 November 2024.

Question

Does the noble Baroness agree that, even since the publication of this report last January, there has been considerable and important new thinking on trade facilitation of all kinds, particularly within the United Kingdom? Will she assure us that the report published today by the Trade Facilitation Commission, which contains many of these ideas, is taken full account of by the independent monitoring group or whoever is going to be driving this pattern forward?

Answer

My Lords, the most important thing here is to safeguard the trading position and the internal market. When ideas, suggestions

and reports come forward, of course they will all get the due consideration that they deserve in the best interests of the Northern Ireland.
