Does my noble friend the Minister agree with me that debate is necessary in a democratic society? But we all have to ask: is this in the best interests of our businesses and communities? The debate is necessary, but the continuous badgering on about the inadequacies and iniquities of the Windsor Framework is definitely not helpful to businesses. As their immediate priority, they want the resolution of those difficulties, and they want full implementation. Can the Minister give us the Government’s view on sustaining the economy and businesses in Northern Ireland?
