The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent discussions he has had with the board of InterTrade UK.

Answered by Hilary Benn

I met with the Chair of Intertrade UK, Baroness Foster, last month at the East-West Council to hear an update on the Board’s work to date and its future plans.

I have also engaged directly with Intertrade UK on the advice they have submitted to me on issues affecting UK internal market trade. This has included the Windsor Framework, veterinary medicines, vehicle type approvals and customs arrangements.

I look forward to engaging with the Board further as they continue to implement their work programme.
