UK Internal Trade: Northern Ireland
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have held with representatives of the logistics industry on the cost of trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
- Answer
-
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland meets regularly with the logistics sector and businesses trading between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including through the Northern Ireland Business Stakeholders Group.
Working with the EU and fast parcel operators, we have ensured that from 1 July the vast majority of low-value imports will not face EU duties when moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, cutting costs and protecting GB-NI trade.
