Sir Bernard Jenkin

Conservative — Harwich and North Essex

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 May 2025

Debate

EU-UK Summit

Contribution

I want to correct the hon. Lady on a matter of fact. The dispute about sand eel fishing was resolved, under the trade and co-operation agreement, by a bilateral arbitration panel. It had nothing to do with the European Court of Justice. It is a normal trading agreement. There was no involvement of the Court of Justice of the European Union. [Interruption.]
