Text
I thank the Member for giving way. He is absolutely right to highlight, in a cost-of-living crisis, the huge costs that have been associated with the Northern Ireland protocol to date. Does he agree that that is a semi-skimmed version of the protocol, which, to date, has been operating at only 10%? If we get the full-fat version supported by Alliance, Sinn Féin and, indeed, the SDLP, what will the costs be? Our logistics sector would come to a halt within 48 hours. It is ludicrous.
