Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 May 2025

Debate

Trade Negotiations

Contribution

I simply do not recognise the aeriated contribution that the hon. Gentleman has made. He has an important and legitimate role in representing farmers in his constituency and more broadly, but I assure him that if he looks at the numbers, including the quota agreed by the previous Government, and the relatively modest shift in the tariff rate quota on beef that has been agreed today, his concerns will be allayed.
