Lords ChamberNot being privy to what was said, I regret that I cannot.
First, will the Minister consult the noble and learned Lord, Lord Keen of Elie, on his opinion of the legality of what the Government are now proposing? I really recommend that he does so. Secondly, does the Minister not see that there is a clear distinction between changing the protocol under its terms and Britain legislating independently to breach an international treaty?
My Lords, once again, the Government are confident in their position that what they propose will not breach international law
