More information has also been published on the independent review of the Windsor Framework which was announced in January 2025. HMRC has also sent a reminder email that the new parcel arrangements under the Windsor Framework took effect from 1 May 2025 and has also asked us to share a document summarising the key changes.
Independent review of the Windsor Framework (WF)
The Independent Review of the WF was commissioned by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland in January 2025 after a vote on the continued application of Articles 5 to 10 of the WF in the Northern Ireland Assembly in December 2024.
Lord Murphy of Torfaen has been commissioned to lead the review with the aim of providing the Government with a report of the review’s conclusions no later than six months from 9 January 2025. This will examine the functioning of the WF and its implications for social, economic and political life in Northern Ireland, and on the UK internal market and will include recommendations.
As part of the Independent Review, Lord Murphy is seeking input from relevant stakeholders. He is inviting those with insights, experiences, comments or concerns related to share their views in written format. Feedback should be submitted by 31 May 2025 using a feedback form.
