Liberal Democrat — Wokingham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 March 2025

Debate

European Union: UK Membership

Contribution

I will be very quick, Sir John. The Prime Minister and others have started resetting the relationship with Europe. That cannot be easy because trust has been lost on the part of European leaders—it has completely disappeared. But we have to ask the Minister this: when can we expect tangible changes to be made to the trading relationship between the UK and the EU? Does the Minister recognise the difficulties that 2 billion pieces of paperwork present for our country’s businesses, and that that is massively constraining our ability to grow?
