Letter from Convener to the Chairperson of Committee for the Executive Office, Northern Ireland Assembly, 22 February 2022.
UK Internal Market
Dear Sinead
The Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee has today published a report on our inquiry into the UK internal market:
https://digitalpublications.parliament.scot/Committees/Report/CEEAC/2022/2/22/73682bfb-fb43-47e5-b206-b79ec5e28262-2#Introduction
We identified three significant and interrelated tensions arising from and/or exacerbated by the UK leaving the EU –
First, tension between open trade and regulatory divergence;
Second, tension within the devolution settlement;
Third, tension in the balance of relations between the Executive and the Legislature.
