UK Internal Trade: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 18 June 2025 to Question 59711 on UK Internal Trade, what progress his Department has made on removing additional obligations placed on GB based businesses supplying Northern Ireland.
Answered by Justin Madders
I understand that some GB based businesses have faced changes as a result of the updated General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR). The Department has issued guidance for those who are selling to Northern Ireland, which we will continue to keep under review. We have engaged with businesses directly to ensure they understand their obligations arising from the GPSR, and to support them in trading freely across the entirety of the UK.
The Government is committed to upholding its obligations under the Windsor Framework, and to protecting the UK internal market.
