Intertrade UK: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what steps his Department is taking to help ensure that the work of Intertrade UK is not affected by trade barriers faced by some GB-based businesses supplying to Northern Ireland-based consumers.
Answered by Hilary Benn
A key focus for Intertrade UK will be to promote the full extent of the UK’s market to businesses and traders and to help to counter any misconceptions businesses and traders in Great Britain may have about providing goods and services in Northern Ireland.
I expect to be in a position to announce the full membership of Intertrade UK and the date of the first meeting shortly.
