I want to say a few words on the generality of some of the issues that have been raised so far and then come on to the details of this set of regulations. As the noble Lord, Lord Frost, said, we have now this reset and the announcement by the Government of plans for future negotiations, an SPS agreement and so on. While this may bring temporary change or relief in the operation of some of the workings of the Windsor Framework/protocol, the fact is that none of the reset will change one word or one letter of the Windsor Framework/protocol. It will not deal with the areas that are left outside SPS—the noble Lord, Lord Frost, has asked for clarification on what areas are covered. I look forward to hearing what the Minister says on that because, again, this is extremely important for the people of Northern Ireland.
