The United Kingdom Internal Market Act 2020 creates a framework to keep an internal market for goods, services and professionals across the UK after Brexit. It gives ministers powers to set and adjust rules to prevent barriers to trade between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The bill was backed by the government but faced strong opposition from Labour and other parties and it has now become law after receiving Royal Assent.
The bill has completed its passage through Parliament and received Royal Assent, so it is now law.
In the Commons, the Conservative party voted overwhelmingly in favour, while Labour and most other opposition parties voted against. Some smaller parties and allied groups supported the bill (e.g., DUP, Reform UK), while Sinn Féin MPs did not vote in these divisions or were recorded as mixed for some motions.
