Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown (DUP)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 November 2024

Debate

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

Contribution

The sad reality is that the goalposts have been moved recently. Because, in the vote taken in the Northern Ireland Assembly, for the first time—50 years—they have now declared there is no need for a cross-community vote. Members in this House have campaigned that this was so essential. The Belfast agreement was quoted by the noble Baroness, Lady Ritchie, tonight. The Belfast agreement.
