Lord True (Con)
My Lords, I am sure that my right honourable friend is capable of almost any form of conversation. I repeat: this is not a delay. It is a deliberate decision to take a different approach and part of that decision is that the 2025 target is being brought forward, as I explained to your Lordships earlier.
Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford (Con)
My Lords, as the Minister develops the border protocols for 2025, will he reconsider prioritisation for medicines and other life-saving products? If we have learned anything for the pandemic, it is that some of these supply chains really are quite fragile. This could do with another look.
Lord True (Con)
My Lords, my noble friend makes an important point. I will certainly take it away and discuss it with colleagues.
