Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2025

Debate

Road Vehicles (Type-Approval) (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

This is not a commercial challenge for car manufacturers or dealers that they can adapt to and come to terms with. It is a policy failure on the part of government which is making life difficult for businesses and consumers in Northern Ireland. It entrenches inequality within the United Kingdom and places Northern Ireland consumers and businesses at a permanent disadvantage. These are real problems affecting real people, real businesses and real communities. Everyone is going to be affected by lack of choice, and higher prices. It is incompatible with the principle of the UK internal market and unworkable for those trying to do business on the ground.
