Proceeding contribution from Stephen Doughty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 September 2020. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on United Kingdom Internal Market Bill.


United Kingdom Internal Market Bill

My hon. Friend is making some incredibly powerful points. He is undoubtedly aware that today the world is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the United Nations. Does he find it curious that the UK Government have signed up to a statement that says:

“We will abide by international law… We will abide by the international agreements we have entered into and the commitments we have made”?

Is there not some stark hypocrisy going on there?
