Proceeding contribution from Sarah Olney (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 September 2020. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on United Kingdom Internal Market Bill.


United Kingdom Internal Market Bill

I entirely agree. I was going on to say that the Secretary of State also awards himself the power to vary the statutory requirements in the non-discrimination clause, such as on transportation and inspection of goods or regulation of the markets, in the same way. Is it not the case that, should the Secretary of State find that such requirements no longer suited the needs of English producers, he could change them, to the detriment of Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish producers, without the express consent of their Governments?
