The Northern Ireland Protocol bill is starting committee stage in the House of Commons later, meaning MPs can try to amend the legislation Brexit
for the bill earlier this month. At the centre of the proposal is the concept of green lanes and red lanes for trade.Goods coming from Great Britain into Northern Ireland and which are staying would use the green lane. This means there would be no checks and paperwork would be minimal
London also wants any trade disputes resolved by "independent arbitration" and not by the European Court of Justice, and for Northern Ireland to benefit from the same tax breaks as elsewhere in the UK. A majority of members of the assembly, including Sinn Féin, Alliance and the SDLP, say the protocol is necessary to mitigate the effects of Brexit in Northern Ireland.
