Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 June 2025

Debate

Marking of Retail Goods Regulations 2025

Contribution

I have got to the stage where I feel that the Government have such a large majority, and it was the previous Government who actually implemented all these issues, and no one is prepared to accept that they made a mistake, that it was wrong, that there were other ways. There was mutual enforcement—all sorts of things could have been done rather than just listening to the Republic of Ireland and the European Union wittering on about a hard border. Now the Government have this very large majority of votes in another place but have completely lost any sense of moral authority that they once might have employed over this particular issue.
