European Union (Withdrawal) Act

Proceeding contribution from Ruth George (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 January 2019. It occurred during Debates on treaty on European Union (Withdrawal) Act.

Does my hon. Friend agree that the problems of regulatory alignment with very different actors such as the United States of America and the EU, with which we will both seek to do a free trade agreement, will make it extremely difficult for us to conclude agreements with both? We will have to prioritise one over the other. The USA has asked for access to our internal health markets and says that we will have to align our food standards down to theirs, so our having to choose might be a very good thing.
