I am sorry for being late but I am trying to play catch-up. Certainly, the presentations, from what I heard, are comprehensive.

It is ironic that a government that is saying that it wants to protect the Good Friday Agreement, at present in relation to the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill whose purpose that is, is dismantling a core foundation stone of that Agreement. The impact of the indifference of that is difficult on many levels.

Seeing it in black and white about Article 2 - that the UK Government commits explicitly to ensuring that there is no lessening of certain rights, safeguards or equality of opportunity as set out in the relevant chapter of the Good Friday Agreement - by doing this, by withdrawing the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights, are they themselves not doing that? It is a practical question. Are they not breaking their own rules by doing that?
