Lord Jay of Ewelme:

I thank the Deputies. I will ask my colleagues to comment on the second point. I have a brief word on the comment by Deputy Haughey. The report is in an early stage of being drafted and it would be a little rash of me to comment on what might be in it before it has been drafted or the committee as a whole has had a chance to look at it in detail. That said, the economic issues which the Deputy raised are important. The fact that Northern Ireland will be within the UK single market and the EU Single Market provides an opportunity, if peace and stability can be established, for investment in Northern Ireland, which will really help the economy and people of Northern Ireland. That is an important goal. I regret that more emphasis has not been put on that point in the negotiations which we have had about the protocol and the future of Northern Ireland. That is what I have to say on that point but others may well want to comment and I am glad to see that a number of hands are up. We shall go first to Baroness Ritchie.
