Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 December 2024

Debate

Movement of Goods (Northern Ireland to Great Britain) (Animals, Feed and Food, Plant Health etc.) (Transitory Provision and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2024

Contribution

All of this is a result of Brexit. None of us can deny or gainsay that; that is what happened. Some in this House and in the other place in the last few years argued in terms of the hardest possible Brexit. What we have got is further division, entrenchment, distress and anxiety in the wider community in Northern Ireland. We need to move on from this by working together, using the anchor of the potential review to achieve better business opportunities and economic growth for all of the community in Northern Ireland. I ask all of my colleagues from Northern Ireland to work together to achieve that.
