Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Legislative Framework Underpinning the State's Response

Lord Sumption:

I would hope that the UK Government would be sensible enough to co-ordinate its response, in so far as that was productive, with other European countries and the fact that the UK has left the European Union should not in itself prevent that. I have no problem with the principle of international consultation even for those who believe in Brexit, a category of people which does not include me.
