EU Exit Negotiations

Trudy Harrison Excerpts

Monday 15th October 2018 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

We are indeed working for a deal that ensures we leave the European Union as the whole United Kingdom. The circumstances of Northern Ireland having a land border with a country that will remain within the EU are different from those at Scotland. Of course, some checks already take place, for example, in relation to livestock moving between Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I cannot really believe that the Scottish Government or the Scottish National party want to impose those checks on livestock that would be moving from Scotland to northern England.

[Trudy Harrison (Copeland) (Con)]

Can my right hon. Friend confirm that her plans mean we will leave the common agricultural policy?

[The Prime Minister]

Yes.
