Proceeding contribution from Lord Prior of Brampton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 October 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Approvals) Bill.


European Union (Approvals) Bill

I will write to the noble Earl.

The noble Lord, Lord Mendelsohn, asked what our view would be if, between now and our leaving the EU, perhaps during the transition period, the EU decided

it wanted to expand to cover, for example, Serbia, Albania and other countries. I think that our response is that we would not want to stand in the EU’s way in such circumstances. I am sure that if it wanted to go ahead, it would be curmudgeonly for us to stand in its way.
