Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 June 2025

Debate

Marking of Retail Goods Regulations 2025

Contribution

Those of us in Northern Ireland are insulted every time a new piece of legislation is imposed on us. We have already had stolen from us the power to legislate independently and have instead been made subject to over 700 EU laws in over 300 different legal areas. Our younger generation has been robbed of the democracy that many of us witnessed for years—one man, one vote—and instead they can vote for only some of the laws to which they are subject. Our businesses have been cut off from their largest trading partner and now, in spite of that, the Government have decided to accept this position and build upon it.
