Sir Keir Starmer

Labour — Holborn and St Pancras

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 July 2024

Debate

NATO and European Political Community Meetings

Contribution

I do not think the deal we have is good enough. If we talk to any business that deals with the EU, they complain it is not good enough for them and has made trade harder, not easier, and that is a real problem. We can do better than that. The EPC was an early opportunity for us to reset our relationship and begin progress towards that better relationship, whether that is in relation to trade or defence and security, which are both very important to us.
