I will now address some of the questions posed by my noble friend Lady Ritchie. She mentioned my noble friend Lord Murphy’s review of the Windsor Framework. The Government are now considering his recommendations and will provide a response before the legal deadline. She also asked about the report from the independent monitoring panel. It has confirmed that, within its first monitoring period, 96% of the value of goods moved by freight from GB to NI qualified under the UK internal market system. Therefore, the internal market guarantee was fully met. Its report also contains an important set of recommendations to the Government, who will now consider them as part of their response to the independent review of the Windsor Framework.
