Michael Gove criticises what he calls the EU’s ‘integrationist theology’ while taking questions on the NI Protocol at the European Scrutiny Ctte.
He also singles out the trade in horticultural products GB-NI where there can be further ‘pragmatic & practical’ steps.
Mr Gove acknowledges that has demand in last week’s letter to the EU that Protocol issues should be sorted within the week has not been met & they are ‘v far from resolving all the problems.’
Will the UK be prepared to use Art 16? He says he hopes the issues can be resolved without it coming to that.
Gove on the NIP: ‘It’s not working at the moment. It can be made to work.’
MP suggests Morrison’s in NI could start sourcing more products from the Republic of Ireland. I have some news for him.
