Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 December 2025

Debate

UK-EU Common Understanding Negotiations

Contribution

My Lords, a huge amount of effort is going into negotiating the SPS agreement, which will be incredibly important for our trade but also in reducing friction, including between Northern Ireland and GB. There are many positives to this. Those negotiations are ongoing but I look forward to discussing them with Members of your Lordships’ House once they are complete so that we can look at them in detail to make sure that everyone, including SMEs, can access them. With that, I wish everyone a merry Christmas, chag sameach and happy new year. I look forward to seeing all noble Lords in 2026.
