PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
UK Internal Trade: Northern Ireland (8 October 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of Not for EU labelling requirements on British businesses that export to the European Union but not to Northern Ireland.

Asked by:
Sarah Green (Liberal Democrat)

The previous Government carried out a consultation on extending Not-for-EU labelling requirements across Great Britain, including assessing the impacts on those businesses who export to the European Union but not to Northern Ireland. After reviewing that consultation, this Government has confirmed we will not introduce mandatory ‘not for EU’ labelling across Great Britain as proposed. This Government will continue to do everything required to support Northern Ireland's integral place in our internal market.
