We desperately need legislation to reset—the word that the noble Baroness uses often—our relationship with the EU to make it plain that it must rest on the basic minimum that can embrace no disrespecting of the territory of the United Kingdom or disenfranchising of any UK citizens. I hope that the Government and the Opposition will take the opportunity of supporting the Private Member’s Bill, the European Union (Withdrawal Arrangements) Bill, being put forward by Jim Allister MP, KC, the Member for North Antrim, when it comes to the other place next Friday. It is sponsored by every single Northern Ireland MP who wants Northern Ireland to remain in the UK, together with a former leader of the Conservative Party, Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the Labour MP Graham Stringer and the leader of Reform, Nigel Farage.
