Northern Ireland Protocol Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 October 2022. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Northern Ireland Protocol Bill.

I thank the noble Lord, Lord Bew, for giving way. While I was not at BIPA, my clear understanding—and I have just had it confirmed—is that the Irish Government’s position is quite clear that they view this protocol Bill as an unnecessary, unilateral move that breaks international law. Of course, they want to see a successful outcome to negotiations between the UK and the EU.
