Mr. David Lidington:

A lot of different individual elements would make up the Digital Single Market but the United States has already got it. China, Brazil and India are going to have it pretty quickly and it seems that given the opportunities for business to business trade as well as retail trade we are crazy to be hobbling ourselves by not getting on with this urgently.

I will cheer on the proposal for a single seat for the European Parliament. Both government parties in the United Kingdom have a very strong commitment to seeking a single seat for the European Parliament. The caravan is an absurdity and a costly one in terms of time and money. As Ms Prendergast knows, it will need treaty change to put that right, in particular after the European Court of Justice, ECJ, decision. I can genuinely say that the UK Government is on the side of the European Parliament when it comes to this matter.
