I have a few specific questions for the Minister. Is it the Government’s intention to continue to align themselves with EU regulations in this sector, not least in light of the arguments of the noble Lord, Lord Dodds? Does the Minister agree that it would be desirable to keep the differences between GB and NI in this sector to an absolute minimum? Does he agree that not only would that be for the benefit of business but, as other noble Lords have said, it would ensure the highest standards of safety in this sector?
