Proceeding contribution from Lord Grayling (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 March 2019. It occurred during Emergency debate on EU Exit Preparations: Ferry Contracts.
EU Exit Preparations: Ferry Contracts
We knew, in accelerating the procurement process, that there was a legal risk. That has been highlighted in the NAO report. However, it was my
judgment, the judgment of my accounting officer and the judgment of those who vetted the plan across Government that that was a risk that we should take, given the need to ensure that we had a supply of drugs into the country in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
