The UK Internal Market Act currently guarantees 'unfettered' access for NI businesses into GB, but the Welsh government this week questioned the automatic right for goods coming from NI to be sold in Wales.

Wilson questions how sustainable 'unfettered access' to GB is

In his New Year’s message, the DUP leader, Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, certainly seemed closer to the MLA Emma Little-Pengelly's position that the party wanted to protect access to both markets
