Members of Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of the government's proposed trade deal for Northern Ireland yesterday.

The government has advised that yesterday's vote on 'the Stormont Brake' was the only chance that MP's had to reject the Windsor Framework, and 515 MP's voted in favour of the deal with just 29 against.

Amongst the 29 were former Tory prime minister's Johnson and Truss, as were Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (the DUP).

With the European Commision also passing the key details of the deal earlier this week, the new procedures are expected to come into force during the course of this year. As a reminder, the key elements include:
‍

Goods from Britain destined for Northern Ireland will travel through a new “green lane”, with a separate “red lane” for goods at risk of moving on to the EU.

Products coming into Northern Ireland through the green lane will see checks and paperwork significantly reduced, while red lane goods will still be subject to normal checks.

A “Stormont brake” allows the Northern Ireland Assembly to raise an objection to “significantly different” new EU rules which would apply in Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland would also no longer have to follow certain EU rules, for example on VAT and excise for some drinks and goods.
