The Northern Ireland Protocol Bill

The UK Trade and Business Commission has taken evidence on several occasions from a wide range of stakeholders on the Northern Ireland Protocol. This involved the Commission making a visit to Belfast in March 2022. In June 2022, the UK Government introduced a 'Northern Ireland Protocol Bill' proposing significant unilateral changes to existing agreements between the UK and EU.

This session of the UK Trade and Business Commission took evidence from experts on the Protocol about what the diplomatic, geopolitical, and economic consequences of the bill could mean for trade and businesses in Northern Ireland.
