Mr Patsy McGlone (Mid Ulster): To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to outline whether her Department has undertaken any scoping exercise in relation to Environmental protection policies and the impact of Brexit.
(AQW 7625/16-21)
Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs: My Department continues to carry out a detailed analysis of the potential impact of Brexit and the issues that will affect us locally. It would not be appropriate to share the results of this analysis as it will be used to inform the NI Executive’s input to the UK Government’s negotiating position.
