Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 February 2025

Debate

UK Border Strategy: Single Trade Window

Contribution

My Lords, I agree with the Minister’s analysis about the bad economic consequences of Brexit, with 12% lower GDP. Does he not agree that the only way that we can get rid of trade costs, as he wishes, is by rejoining the customs union and single market? Tinkering at the edges will have virtually no positive benefit for most small exporters.
