Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 December 2020. It occurred during Debate on bill on United Kingdom Internal Market Bill.


United Kingdom Internal Market Bill

The question of state aids very much lies at the heart of much of these debates. Does the hon. Lady accept that the EU state aid rules are a racket? I know very well the areas around Sheffield, Yorkshire and the midlands, where the coal and steel communities were destroyed, effectively, by the application and the discrimination that was made against—[Interruption.] And in Scotland. Does she accept that is why we need our own sovereign state aid rules, as I said yesterday on the Floor of the House?
