Northern Ireland Protocol Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Lammy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 June 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Northern Ireland Protocol Bill.

Negotiate—just as Labour did to get the Good Friday agreement. We negotiate. We do not break international law and alienate our partners and allies not just in Europe but across the world, and the right hon. Gentleman should know better.

As we debate the Bill, we should ask ourselves some simple questions. First, will it resolve the situation in Northern Ireland? Secondly, is it in the best interests of our great country? Thirdly, is it compatible with our commitment to the rule of law? Let me take each of those in turn.
