Conservative — Kingswinford and South Staffordshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 March 2026

Debate

EU: Mutual Interests

Contribution

After at least 15 major U-turns, it is helpful to check which promises the Government still intend to keep. On 22 July 2024, when I asked the Prime Minister whether he could promise that he would not accept the automatic application of EU rules unless they had been specifically approved by this Parliament, he answered simply, “Yes.” Can the Minister say that it is still the Government’s position that we will not be required to adopt new European Union legislation?
