Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 June 2025

Debate

Official Controls (Plant Health) and Phytosanitary Conditions (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

It is important that these matters are properly debated somewhere in Parliament, because they are certainly not debated in Stormont or in the House of Commons. Our legislatures here and in Stormont have no control, power or say in developing any of these laws. It is very important that we take this time, on behalf of the people in the part of the United Kingdom who are affected by foreign laws being imposed upon them without their say and without any role in developing them, so that they have the opportunity to hear some people at least explore what these regulations mean and the importance of them.
