Sir Desmond Swayne

Conservative — New Forest West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2025

Debate

Stamp Duty Land Tax

Contribution

The hon. Lady referred to the trade deals—so many more than were achieved under the Conservative Government, she says—but the reality is that those trade deals could not have been made had we not had the Brexit deal that we achieved when in government. What is more, the Labour party opposed that deal. We could not do those trade deals before 2016.
