Lord Wallace of Saltaire (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 September 2025

Debate

UK and EU Trade: Arts and Creative Industries

Contribution

My Lords, would it not be slightly easier if the Government’s approach to the reset with the EU was a little less timid? We could then begin to tackle some of the unnecessary bureaucracy and delays. There is a customs union that we could be renegotiating, and we could move further on that. We want a little more courage from the Government in standing up to the right-wing press and to the legacy of the Conservatives and now Reform.
