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 2024

Contribution

Applying biosecurity and food safety controls to European Union and rest-of-the-world goods entering Great Britain through Northern Ireland means that they will not benefit from the protections that are reserved for goods moving within the UK internal market. This will allow the benefits of unfettered access to focus more closely on Northern Ireland traders moving qualifying Northern Ireland goods. These protections are enshrined in primary and secondary legislation.
