Department for Business and Trade written question – answered at on 8 April 2024.
Lord Dodds of Duncairn
DUP
To ask His Majesty's Government how many applications for EU State Aid approval have been made in respect of Northern Ireland since February 2023.
Lord Offord of Garvel
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
The Government has notified three measures to the European Commission for approval with respect to Northern Ireland since February 2023. Two of these schemes have been or will be applied UK-wide. The third is a Northern Ireland agricultural subsidy scheme, resulting from the benefit and freedom of no longer being part of the Common Agricultural Policy.

The European Commission is the politically independent institution that represents and upholds the interests of the EU as a whole. It is the driving force within the EU’s institutional system: it proposes legislation, policies and programmes of action and it is responsible for implementing the decisions of Parliament and the Council.
Like the Parliament and Council, the European Commission was set up in the 1950s under the EU’s founding treaties.
