Lord Clarke of Nottingham (Con)
Does the noble Lord accept that if Northern Ireland does not in future accept the bulk of the single market rules, it will have to leave the single market? That will entail a border between Northern Ireland and the Republic, and the end of the Belfast agreement. Is that the alternative that he is suggesting? If it is not, does he have any positive alternative suggestion that is compliant with the Belfast agreement?
Lord Morrow (DUP)
My Lords, we joined Europe as one identity. Why are we not leaving it as a single identity? Are our votes not important any more?
