Mr. Ó Muilleoir referred to the Little England mentality and some of the advocates for this are seeking the glorious days of empire once again, but I have a fear about living standards, environmental protection standards, wages, workers' rights and human rights. There is much talk about the repeal of the Human Rights Act and many will be looking closely at the great repeal Bill, as it will be known, and the power of local devolved administrations to be able to stand against that, but there is no doubt there are serious concerns about some of the rights Mr. Ó Muilleoir has just spelt out.
