While thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, might I ask him if he is aware of the imbalance in trade due to the difference in the tariffs imposed by the Republic of Ireland on United Kingdom goods and the fact that there are no tariffs, or practically none, in the reverse direction? Is he aware that the imbalance that results favours Northern Ireland in trade between Northern Ireland the Republic of Ireland?
