Northern Ireland trade deal near completion

MP’s voted overwhelmingly in favour of the ‘Stormont Brake’ in the House of Commons yesterday, which is the key component in the UK approving the new Northern Ireland trade deal.

According to the government, this was the only chance that parliament had to reject the Windsor Framework, as there will be no further votes on the new deal. This follows news that the EU also passed the key elements of the deal this week.

We expect the deal, which should reduce a lot of the red tape involved with moving goods to and from Northern Ireland, to be phased in this year.
