Alison Thewliss – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Northern Ireland Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Alison Thewliss on 2016-10-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what arrangements he plans to put in place for milk bank sharing between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland when the UK leaves the EU.

Kris Hopkins

The issue of milk bank sharing is a devolved matter and as such falls to the Department of Health in Northern Ireland. However, the UK Government’s focus remains on making a success of exiting the European Union and getting the right deal both for Northern Ireland and the UK as a whole.
