Brexit: Trade in Food

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Gethins (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 June 2018. It occurred during Debate on Brexit: Trade in Food.

I am astonished by the Minister’s use of the phrase “an independent country” given that Ireland, Greece and Denmark all consider themselves independent countries. On customs and seasonal workers, he referred to infrastructure. I mentioned urgency, so what is the timescale for that infrastructure? We have heard from a wide range of experts—we still believe experts—that the end of 2021, or even the end of 2020 when the transition period ends, is not realistic. Have they got that wrong?
