Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2024

Debate

Windsor Framework (Non-Commercial Movement of Pet Animals) Regulations 2024

Contribution

As I said, there will be hundreds, thousands more of these regulations, in all areas, affecting the daily lives of people in Northern Ireland. They all add up to a grievous assault on Northern Ireland’s constitutional position. I say thousands of laws because we have 300 areas of policy across vast swathes of our economy which now all fall under the jurisdiction of the European Union. Therefore, there is no responsibility or right of any MLA in the Northern Ireland Assembly, or any Member of Parliament in Westminster, to formulate, develop, make or amend any of those laws.
