Lord Hannan of Kingsclere (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 May 2025

Debate

US Tariff on UK Films

Contribution

My Lords, His Majesty’s Government have had a very good week on trade. We have just signed a deal with India, the fourth biggest economy in the world—about to become the third biggest—and we hope to have an announcement today that we will have a deal with the largest economy and our largest trading partner, the United States. The great benefits will accrue like compound interest, but can the Minister confirm that the full measure of these benefits will be felt by our fellow subjects in Northern Ireland, not only in the film industry, which is important there, but across the board?
