Labour — Monmouthshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 April 2025

Debate

EU Trading Relationship

Contribution

At my recent business roundtable in Monmouthshire, I spoke to Tri-Wall, a business that exports to the EU. Instead of sending one lorryload of its goods to different countries all across the EU, it now has to send a different lorry to every country, which really increases its costs. Does my hon. Friend agree that we need closer alignment to avoid that kind of problem?
