Proceeding contribution from Lord Callanan (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 October 2019. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Brexit: Preparations.
Brexit: Preparations
The noble Lord makes a good point. We are seeking a compromise and have compromised considerably by conceding that Northern Ireland will remain aligned—part of the single market, effectively—for agri-foods and goods on the island of Ireland. We look to the EU to make similar compromises. No nation on earth has an internal customs border in its territory and it is unreasonable to expect the UK to do that.
