Brexit: Trade

Lord McColl of Dulwich Excerpts

Tuesday 1st November 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Mobarik]

Of course Australia will have its own interests in terms of exporting its wine, its beef or its dairy products, but we too have our own interests in terms of exporting our motor cars and so on. Of course it has to be of mutual benefit to both countries.

[Lord McColl of Dulwich (Con)]

My Lords, could it be by some quite unimaginable stretch of the imagination that those noble Lords who keep moaning about Brexit are trying to justify the dire warnings about what would happen if we did leave—for instance, a third world war? As the Minister and I come from the fair city of Glasgow, would it be appropriate to say to these people, “Haud yer wheesht”?

[Noble Lords]

Aye.
