Lord Callanan
Obviously, it is to be hoped that we do not get into any disputes. We remain committed to the Chequers deal; as I said yesterday, we are awaiting a formal response from the EU. We think it is a good proposal, involving compromise on our behalf. We need now to see similar movement and compromise on the EU’s behalf.
Lord Bassam of Brighton (Lab)

Lord Callanan
I think it is best if I stay away from these particular arguments.
