Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Elaine Stewart and Nick Thomas-Symonds

Thursday 10th July 2025 Commons Chamber

[Nick Thomas-Symonds]

Gentleman that I always show pragmatism on implementing the Windsor framework. If we take parcels, for example, when I went to Belfast last summer I was told that there was no readiness for businesses there, but I applied for and secured a six-month delay, and then implemented that part of the agreement, so he can be assured that I take a pragmatic approach.
