MPs vote down changes to the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill
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. On Wednesday, DUP MP Gregory Campbell said he did not expect the protocol legislation to change significantly through committee amendments.
