“Taken together, a number of the amendments before us expose the central choice facing the Committee: are we serious about protecting a strategic British industry, or are we going to wrap Government action in so many conditions, caps, delays and automatic routes back to private sale that intervention becomes impossible …”

“There is those three lions on my shirt, our NHS, the joy of holding a brolly over a barbie on another washed-out bank holiday Monday, that sweet smell of fish and chips on a Friday, a Mr Whippy on the beach, strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, His Majesty the King, the pageantry of trooping the colour, nil points at E…”
