Closed Seek UK-wide EU single market access equivalent to Northern Ireland's

Closed on

The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has said "Northern Ireland has this very special position where it has access to the UK and EU markets, which makes it an incredibly attractive place to invest for businesses"

We want the same for the whole of the UK.

We believe the idea that only one part of the UK has special access to the European Single Market while the others do not is unreasonable. Rishi Sunak has stated that his agreement with the EU (The Windsor Framework) makes NI an extremely appealing location for businesses to invest in. However, it is important that the entire UK receives the same benefits and becomes a desirable location for investment. It is unfair that only Northern Ireland has such opportunities while the rest of the country does not.
