SPS Inspection Facilities at Belfast, Larne, Foyle, and Warrenpoint are now operational. Remaining works on 13 July 2026 were limited to minor snagging and commissioning activities in line with normal construction practice and include additional works at Larne which will enhance the live animal inspections already in place.
This Government, which has responsibility for delivery of these facilities, remains committed to a maximum funding envelope of £192.3 million. Of this envelope, £152.2 million has been spent up to the 13 July 2026. Further payments for construction have yet to be made in accordance with contractual terms, however the total expenditure is forecast to be within the maximum funding envelope.

The proposed Regulations do not alter existing Windsor Framework arrangements. Machinery placed on the market in Northern Ireland must comply with the applicable Northern Ireland requirements. Machinery manufactured in Great Britain may be placed on the Northern Ireland market with the CE marking where it is either self-assessed to the EU requirements or assessed by an EU-recognised body. Where a UK-approved body carries out the conformity assessment, both the CE and UKNI markings are required. Manufacturers may therefore continue to place machinery on the Northern Ireland market regardless of where it is manufactured, provided it meets the applicable requirements.

With the exception of salary paid to the Secretary of State for Defence, and Defence Ministers, it is not possible to identify whether any other direct payments have been made to current or former Members of Parliament or other politicians as a cohort. Whether the recipient of any type of payment for any reason is a Member of Parliament or other politician, is not centrally recorded and could only be provide at disproportionate cost.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Answer of 20 March 2025 to Question 37523 on UK Internal Trade: Northern Ireland, to update the table, providing figures for the full financial year 2024-25 and for the full financial year 2025-26.

Ministers from the Northern Ireland Office talk rather glibly about these matters, but the lived reality of the supply chain is very different: a full international customs border that is now inflicting damage on the import of steel; tightening import control system 2 checks; a parcels border; a plants border; and £192 million spent on building border posts—all to placate a European Union to which the Secretary of State and others seem totally beholden. When will the Secretary of State actually stand up for Northern Ireland? Can we please not have the usual trite reply that it is all the fault of Brexit, when it is the very opposite? The denial of Brexit is the altar upon which our supply chains are being sacrificed.

I worry that the hon. and learned Member is in danger of talking down Northern Ireland and its incredible business opportunities. We are here to champion it. If issues arise from the Brexit that he and others championed, we do our very best to ensure that trades flow smoothly.

The Ministry of Defence authorised payments to the then hon. Member for Lagan Valley, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, for consultancy work advising the UK Government on the Anglophile Crisis and assisting in the development of a peace process plan for the Government of Cameroon. Sir Jeffrey Donaldson had previously been involved in several successful peace processes including Northern Ireland and Colombia.
Today the Department confirmed to me in a written answer that over the years 2018 and 2019, the Ministry of Defence paid almost £12,000 to Jeffrey Donaldson in respect of a peacekeeping consultancy for the Cameroons. How common is it that sitting Members of Parliament are paid consultancy fees, and who else has been paid?

I am not aware of the detail that the hon. and learned Member raises, but if he would like to write to me, I will look very carefully at it.

All foreign nationals who receive a prison sentence in the UK are referred for deportation consideration at the earliest opportunity by the respective prison service. There has been an increase in the return of foreign national offenders (FNOs) by 36%, with almost 10,000 FNOs being returned since this Government came to power.
The Home Office publishes data on FNO returns in the quarterly Immigration System Statistics release. Quarterly data on enforced, voluntary and port FNO returns (of which ‘deportations’ are a legal subset) are published in table ‘Ret_D03’ of the returns detailed datasets accompanying the release.
Work is currently underway to publish more detailed information on FNOs subject to deportation. Further information on this work can be found at: Statistics on foreign national offenders and the immigration system - GOV.UK.

That this House commemorates the 110th anniversary of the service and sacrifice of the 36th (Ulster) Division on 1 July 1916 during the opening day of the Battle of the Somme; notes that the Division advanced with exceptional courage against entrenched German positions, achieving its objectives at immense human cost; further notes that by its relief on 2 July it had suffered approximately 5,500 casualties, including around 2,069 fatalities; recognises the profound and lasting impact of this loss on communities across Ulster; and pays tribute to the enduring legacy of the 36th (Ulster) Division and the sacrifice of all British forces who served and fell in the Great War.

The Government recognises, and is deeply grateful for, the selflessness of those who serve our country, and for the noble sacrifices they are asked to make to ensure our safety and protect our values. It is fully committed to ensuring that those who serve this country with bravery and dedication are properly supported in the practical sense, and that their selflessness and sacrifice are appropriately recognised through the award of medals where they are justified.
The Elizabeth Cross maybe granted to the next of kin of regular, reserve or Royal Fleet Auxiliary personnel who have died on military operations, or as a result of an act of terrorism since 1 January 1948, where there is evidence that they were targeted because of their membership of the UK Armed Forces. It may also be awarded for non-medal earning operational tasks where death is caused by the inherent circumstances and risks attributable to service in the Armed Forces.
The names of those who die while in Service may, according to the circumstances of their death, be considered for recording on the Armed Forces Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum. Similarly, the names of individuals who die during their military service, regardless of the cause, are recorded upon the Armed Forces Memorial Scroll.
The Government recognises that there are those who wish to see a specific acknowledgement of Service Personnel who are injured in the course of their military careers. At a Westminster Hall debate on 9 December 2025, the Minister for Veterans and People recognised this, noting that officials in the Ministry of Defence (MOD) are considering whether a defined ‘Injury Medal’ would be the best method of recognition in such circumstances, and whether such an award would be viable: https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2025-12-09/debates/DBDED222-7BDA-40BB-AA7D-1D0DE739E84A/MedalForWoundedServicePersonnel
This work is at an early stage, and it would not be appropriate to speculate on whether such an award may be instituted nor precisely what it might look like in terms of eligibility.
