UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly is set to give evidence to a House of Lords committee on post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland. The session will cover the Windsor Framework, under which goods travelling from Great Britain to Northern Ireland will go through a “green lane” while those heading for the EU will use a “red lane”. Cleverly will also be asked about the Stormont brake, which gives Northern Ireland’s assembly the power to object to changes to EU rules that apply in the region. The hearing follows complaints that citizens and businesses do not understand the framework’s details.
