Proceeding contribution from Lord Agnew of Oulton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 September 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Economy.

Economy

My Lords, I agree with the noble Lord that there needs to be integration. The overriding priority is to crank up the economy again; that is why we have created a group in Downing Street called Project Speed, which is designed to take hold of any opportunity that is being blocked in any way, to shake it and make it happen quicker. I remain optimistic, as I said in response to an earlier question, that we will resolve our difficulties with the European Union and will have some form of workable deal by the end of the year.
