Debate between Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe and Viscount Camrose

Wednesday 21st June 2023 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Camrose (Con)]

Yes, indeed, I will be very happy to take that back. As I say, for the Government, the preferred outcome of the negotiations is to associate with Horizon on fair and appropriate terms.

[Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe (Lab)]

In response to the question from my noble friend, the Minister was reasonably confident that we would move forward, but subject to “fair and appropriate terms”. Would he care to define to the House a little more clearly what those are?

[Viscount Camrose (Con)]

At the risk of testing the House’s patience, I cannot describe what our negotiating goals are for fear of prejudicing the outcome of the negotiations.
