The Institute recently made an informal submission to the House of Lords Sub-Committee on the Protocol on Ireland in respect of the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill. It has now been confirmed that the submission has been accepted by the Sub-Committee as evidence. The Sub-Committee has since formally opened its inquiry into the Bill which the Institute will be responding to.
The Committee is scrutinising the Bill’s provisions, examining the economic, political and legal impact of the legislation, and assessing the EU’s response, in the context of and to inform consideration of the Bill by the House of Lords. This crucial inquiry is taking place during the autumn hence we encourage you to share your feedback by email.
