The Government, as part of their reset with the European Union, must now embrace the more robust infrastructure-free border that was initially proposed way back, from within the EU, with mutual enforcement, which is now provided for by Bill proposed by the Member of Parliament for North Antrim, Jim Allister—the European Union (Withdrawal Arrangements) Bill—which is currently in another place. In doing so, the Government would very quickly restore to themselves their essential state functions in biosecurity as they relate to Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain, re-enfranchise 1.9 million UK citizens, restore the territorial integrity of the UK, and make negotiating a trade deal with the United States—something that will be virtually impossible while part of the UK has been left in the EU—possible. Most of all, the Government should stand up for the union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and stop our country being torn apart. I beg to move.
