Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 December 2024
Debate
Movement of Goods (Northern Ireland to Great Britain) (Animals, Feed and Food, Plant Health etc.) (Transitory Provision and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2024Contribution
When we look in detail at this statutory instrument, we see that it gives rise to a number of questions. The Government continue to repeat the mantra that Northern Ireland qualifying goods will have unfettered access moving from Northern Ireland into Great Britain. Of course, they cannot say that—and do not attempt to say that to be fair—in relation to goods moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland, because that is subject to an international customs border now, with all the consequent problems.
