Northern Ireland Protocol

Lord Lexden Excerpts

Tuesday 28th February 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord True (Con)]

My Lords, we believe that the framework we have put forward is consistent with the Act of Union in its fullest sense. In my personal opinion as a unionist, that is a vital text. On the noble Baroness’s specific questions about how we will take this forward and what action might be taken, I will write to her, if she will allow me, as part of the ongoing discussion. If there are any worthwhile observations, I will put that in the Library.

[Lord Lexden (Con)]

My Lords—

[The Deputy Speaker (Baroness Fookes) (Con)]

I am sorry; time is now up.
