Proceeding contribution from Lord Purvis of Tweed (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 January 2023. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill.


Trade (Australia and New Zealand) Bill

Before the Minister sits down, I ask for a final point of clarification and then I will shut up on this group. If the Bill passes, does that mean that we have implemented our domestic legislation in order to say to the Australians and the New Zealanders, through a diplomatic note, that we have put in place our domestic legislation so that this agreement can come into force? Or is that at the point when the regulations under the Bill are made? If it is the regulations, then, as I understand it, one of them will depend on what the Scottish Government and the Scottish Parliament will want to do, because there will be a concurrent power. Just for clarification, is it this Bill or the Procurement Bill, whichever the sequencing, or is it the time when the regulations are made?
