Text
From the brief opportunity that we have been afforded to consider the document, it appears to me that there is no mention of either the protocol or the Windsor framework. We cannot claim to be securing our economic future while implementing a border that cuts us off from the rest of our Union and, indeed, the sixth biggest economy in the world. My question to the Minister is this: Stormont came back on the basis that Jeffrey Donaldson told the unionist people that there would be zero checks and zero paperwork when it came to trade between GB and Northern Ireland. That has not happened. What, in this document, aims to deliver those promises that allowed Stormont to return?
