Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 May 2025

Debate

Business and the Economy

Contribution

The key thing is, the Conservatives are in favour of free trade, just not at any cost. That has been the biggest problem with these deals. The Minister says that the previous Government did not sign off on them, and for jolly good reason—that is the point we are trying to get across. There will be people queuing up to come to the UK because they see us as a soft touch now and think they can get anything out of us. That is what we want to stop.
