Sir Edward Leigh

Conservative — Gainsborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2026

Debate

Government Procurement: British Businesses

Contribution

Does the Chancellor agree that, post Brexit, Government Departments have much more freedom to buy British? Under the Procurement Act 2023, they can ignore EU directives. Will the Chancellor walk with us into the broad, sunlit uplands of post-Brexit Britain and use the freedoms that we obtained for this country?
