Mr Douglas Alexander

Labour (Co-op) — Lothian East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 May 2025

Debate

Trade Negotiations

Contribution

I reiterate the points that I sought to make earlier. Imports of hormone-treated beef or chlorinated chicken will remain illegal. The deal we have signed today will protect British farmers and uphold our high standards of welfare and environmental standards. Any agricultural imports coming into the United Kingdom will have to meet our high and continuing SPS standards. I can put it no more clearly than that.
