Windsor Framework: Former NI Secretary to lead government post-Brexit review

The review is set to run for six months and will be led by Lord Murphy, a Labour peer in the House of Lords, who has also served as the secretary of state for Wales.

The government will then be required to respond to any recommendations put forward by review body.

The current Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn said the vote last month marked an important step forward for the Windsor Framework trading arrangements.

Confirming Lord Murphy’s appointment he said the peer had a “deep understanding of the bonds between the nations and UK”.

He added Lord Murphy also had an “appreciation of the operation of the strands of the Good Friday Agreement” and “was held in high regard across communities in Northern Ireland”.
