Lord Henley
My noble friend is absolutely right about the recent trade deal agreed between the EU and Japan, and that is why we in the UK should seek to emulate deals of that sort. We are not seeking no deal; we are trying to get a deal. Let us all come together and try to get that.
Lord Lea of Crondall (Lab)
Can the Minister confirm that he is saying that the rules of origin question does not arise in the deal currently proposed by the Government?
Lord Lea of Crondall
Can the noble Lord confirm that the origin rules problem does not arise in the present deal proposed by the Prime Minister?
Lord Henley
The origin rules problem is very detailed and complicated in terms of the percentage of any car that is manufactured on any particular site. If the noble Lord would like me to do so, I shall write to him in greater detail on that subject.
