That an humble Address be presented to His Majesty, praying that the Windsor Framework (Disclosure of Revenue and Customs Information) Regulations 2023 (S.I., 2023, No. 623), dated 8 June 2023, a copy of which was laid before this House on 9 June 2023, be annulled.

That this House calls upon the Government to withdraw the Official Controls (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2023 (S.I., 2023, No. 17) because they are injurious to the integrity of the UK Internal Market in circumstances where the Northern Ireland Protocol has not been replaced by new arrangements that respect and protect Northern Ireland’s place in the UK and that they thereby violate the New Decade New Approach Agreement; notes that the Regulations give effect to a customs border that divides the United Kingdom, treating Northern Ireland like a foreign country; further notes that it is their purpose to protect the integrity of a different legal regime in Northern Ireland created by laws in over 300 areas imposed by a polity of which it is not a part and in which it has no representation; notes that it is their purpose to protect the integrity of a legal regime that uniquely within the UK means the people of Northern Ireland can no longer elect fellow citizens to make all the laws to which they are subject; further notes that the Regulations are implicated in upholding the integrity of a legal regime which undermines the 1998 Belfast Agreement institutions, cross community consent and the right the Agreement affords the people of Northern Ireland to pursue democratically national and political aspirations; and is convinced that it would be harmful to proceed with such regulations on the eve of the twenty fifth anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement when so many hopes hang upon them.

That this House is saddened by the death of Alfie Evans, four days after his life-sustaining treatment was withdrawn; notes the recent denial of Alfie's parents' plea to continue with compassionate medical care in a hospital in Italy; is concerned that in such a request a patient or their relatives are severely disadvantaged by the fact that no or insufficient evidence is considered from the foreign medical authorities to be able to adequately assess whether seeking medical assistance abroad is in the best interest of the patient; and calls on the Government to review the current approach to such requests to ensure that patients are not effectively prevented from seeking medical care abroad, especially in circumstances where a hospital abroad is willing and able to provide the required medical care, the needed medical treatment is not available in the UK, or the patient is a citizen of another country and further to consider what new arrangements will need to be put in place after the UK leaves the EU to facilitate individuals seeking medical care abroad.

That this House notes the Report published by the Prime Minister's Special Representative on Veterans Transition Lord Ashcroft, in which he made two key recommendations in relation to the provision of support services to armed forces veterans in Northern Ireland, namely that the Government should amend section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act to enable service leavers and veterans to receive the recognition and provision they deserve and appoint a security-vetted Armed Forces Champion in Northern Ireland to enable service leavers and veterans to claim entitlements without fear for their personal security; believes that section 75 can in certain circumstances be an impediment to full implementation of the Military Covenant in Northern Ireland; and calls on the Prime Minister to act upon these key recommendations and to implement them without delay.
