The Independent Review of the Windsor Framework was commissioned by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, the Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP on 9 January 2025.
This followed a vote on the continued application of articles 5 to 10 of the Windsor Framework in the Northern Ireland Assembly on 10 December 2024. The Rt Hon Lord Murphy of Torfaen was commissioned to lead this Review. He invited relevant stakeholders with insights, experiences, comments or concerns related to the Framework to share their views.
Lord Murphy provided the Government with a report of the Review’s conclusions on the functioning of the Windsor Framework and its implications for social, economic and political life in Northern Ireland, and on the UK internal market, including any recommendations. The Government published this report on 4 September 2025, and is under a statutory duty to respond to its recommendations by 9 January 2026.
