Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 October 2024
Debate
Windsor Framework (Retail Movement Scheme: Plant and Animal Health) (Amendment etc.) Regulations 2024Contribution
This hugely controversial and, frankly, indecent proposition—no elected politician should be asked to renounce the rights of their constituents to be represented in the legislature making the laws to which they are subject—is to be dealt with by majority vote. The EU pushed for this not to be a cross-community vote and the last Government meekly folded—supported, I have to say, by the Labour Opposition.
