Sir Bernard Jenkin

Conservative — Harwich and North Essex

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 May 2025

Debate

UK-EU Summit

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman told us that he has a constituent who finds it easier to trade with South Korea than with the EU. What does that tell us about the EU? Is that not one reason why people voted to leave? It is because of its excessive bureaucracy and its protectionism. Why is it easier to trade with South Korea than with the EU if it is not for EU bureaucracy?
