James McMurdock

Independent — South Basildon and East Thurrock

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 May 2025

Debate

EU-UK Summit

Contribution

No one disagrees that trade barriers are a bad thing and that clearing them is a good thing for trade, but there is an awful lot of suspicion about the exact details and about how much the benefits are real benefits, not just the removal of punitive hurdles.
