Brexit: Fashion Industry

Debate between Lord Lawson of Blaby and Earl Howe

Thursday 15th March 2018 Lords Chamber

[Noble Lords]

This side!

[The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence (Earl Howe) (Con)]

My Lords, I have taken a note of the speakers who have contributed, and it is the turn of the Conservatives.

[Lord Lawson of Blaby]

My Lords, I congratulate my noble friend on his excellent Answer to the original Question. The Liberal Democrats’ refusal to accept this clearly portrays a lack of confidence in this country’s ability to govern itself. Does he think that that is simply a lack of confidence in this country, or that it might be because the Liberal party will never be in government again?
