Falkland Islands: Fisheries Exports Tariffs

Debate between Lord Grayling and Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent

Thursday 10th July 2025 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)]

Yes, there is no room for questioning British sovereignty with regard to the Falkland Islands.

[Lord Grayling (Con)]

My Lords, the European Union appears to be interested in joining CPTPP, which is something the United Kingdom has already done. Will the Government ensure that we use any leverage in that negotiation to ensure that the kind of problem we are discussing today is resolved?

[Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)]

The noble Lord raises an interesting point, and I will make sure that the negotiators are aware of it.
