Lord Jay of Ewelme:

I think the question on legacy issues is rather outside our remit. The issue of SPS is key in the negotiations and I do not know the answer to it. However, if one is looking for a bit of encouragement, Lord Frost has sought approval from the Commission for the extension of the deadline on meat products. That is an indication that unilateral action will not always be the way ahead. I find that encouraging. I will pass this on to other members of the team. Would Baroness O'Loan wish to contribute?
