Lord Benyon (Con)
It is the firm policy of this Government that trade deals should not conflict with our standards on environmental protection and animal welfare.
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab Co-op)
My Lords, can I respectfully disagree with the Minister in his hope that my noble friend Lady Hayman of Ullock stays in her place? The sooner she is in his place, the better it will be for the environment.
Lord Benyon (Con)
The noble Lord made the point I was trying to make, in a converse way, rather better than I did. I hope that we will continue to work together on these policies.
