Logistics UK discusses key issues with Scottish Parliament


Nichola Mallon, Logistics UK’s Head of Trade and Devolved Policy, met with the Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee in the Scottish Parliament on 2 May to give evidence on behalf of the logistics industry.

“Logistics UK raised a range of issues including the Windsor Framework, the Border Target Operating Model, the review of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement and the urgent need for a solution to the shortage of crew servicing GB-NI ferry services,” said Mallon.

“We also emphasised the importance of an upgrade to the A75 and provision of parking facilities given its importance to trade between Northern Ireland, Scotland and wider GB. It was a great opportunity for Logistics UK to highlight the key issues facing our members and solutions to tackling barriers to trade. 

"I’d like to thank the Scottish Parliament for its ongoing interest and commitment to such critical issues impacting our industry.”
