Northern Ireland Protocol Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Pannick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 October 2022. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Northern Ireland Protocol Bill.

I entirely understand the noble Lord’s political grievance, but the fact is that Article 16 is part of the protocol and the political grievance cannot itself provide the basis for necessity in international law. This group of amendments is seeking to understand what the legal advice of the Government is.
