Labour (Co-op) — Stalybridge and Hyde

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 May 2025

Debate

US-UK Trade Deal: Northern Ireland

Contribution

Last week was a good week all told, on footballing and trade matters. You may be noting, Mr Speaker, that my voice is a little hoarse as a result. We on the Government Benches were elected on our manifesto commitment not to alter our sanitary and phytosanitary regime and our food standards. Some people said that a deal with the United States would not be possible if we stuck to that, but we did, and we have an agreement. That proves everything we said about why that issue is so important to us.
