Strengthening Northern Ireland’s Voice in the context of the Windsor Framework

Inquiry

The new House of Lords Norther Ireland Scrutiny Committee is conducting an inquiry into strengthening Northern Ireland’s voice in the context of the Windsor Framework. The Windsor Framework includes a complex institutional architecture, which has evolved over a number of years. The new Committee’s inquiry hopes to bring clarity to this picture so that opportunities to strengthen the voice of Northern Ireland can be made more accessible, to stakeholders, policymakers and politicians alike. This new inquiry will take full account of the evidence taken by the former European Affairs Sub-Committee on the Windsor Framework.

This inquiry is currently accepting evidence

The committee wants to hear your views. We welcome submissions from anyone with answers to the questions in the call for evidence. You can submit evidence until Wednesday 30 April 2025.
