Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 June 2025

Debate

Marking of Retail Goods Regulations 2025

Contribution

I live in a border county of Fermanagh. In Enniskillen, there are a number of major supermarkets. Do you think this is going to stop people coming up from all the border counties to buy all those products that say, “not for EU”? Not a chance. The noble Baroness, Lady Hoey, highlighted that earlier. They are going to continue to buy them, probably because they are cheaper as well. The one impact is that it is going to stop trade between GB and Northern Ireland. We have already had a number of businesses say that they cannot access goods from GB companies simply because it is either too much trouble or too costly to do so.
