Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 December 2024

Debate

European Union (Withdrawal Arrangements) Bill

Contribution

Let me quote someone from a small business that relies on supplies from Etsy. They say: “I simply cannot continue without this supply. My suppliers have said that they can’t understand the system and can’t afford to look into this any further. Therefore, I am cut off. I am having to give notice to my landlord. I was barely making ends meet as it was - another business lost.” The Bill is an opportunity to retrieve that and every other business, which would help the economy in Northern Ireland to thrive and create jobs. The Government need to do something.
