Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 November 2025
Debate
Trade Act 2021 (Power to Implement International Trade Agreements) (Extension to Expiry) Regulations 2025Contribution
In conclusion, so many questions have been asked in this short debate that I dare say the Minister would welcome having as long as he needs to answer all the points and deal with some of the wider framework. This is just such a good opportunity to do that. Having said all that, this is a pragmatic step that ensures continuity for business and certainty for our trading partners, but transparency, parliamentary oversight and respect for devolved competence must surely remain central to how the Government use these powers in the years ahead.
