Northern Ireland Assembly: Powers
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps he is taking to ensure the devolution of additional powers to the Northern Ireland Assembly after the UK leaves the EU; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
As set out in the Government’s White Paper, The United Kingdom’s exit from, and new partnership with, the European Union, the Government’s guiding principle is to ensure that as the UK leaves the EU, no new barriers to living and doing business within the Union are created. We will work with the devolved administrations on an approach to returning powers from the EU that works for the whole of the UK.
