[Priti Patel (Shadow Foreign Secretary): My right hon. Friend [Sir Iain Duncan Smith] is spot on and makes a point that I have made. There are people – judges in particular – who clearly are undermining our integrity, sovereignty and the decision making in our own Government. They are pursuing their own interests and that is why we have to call out this deal.]

Sir Julian Lewis: On that point, did my right hon. Friend see the report in the Daily Telegraph on 26 February that one of the other judges who took part in that judgment, Patrick Robinson, believes that the United Kingdom should be repaying at least £18 trillion in reparations for slavery in the past?

[Priti Patel: I did read that report. I have to say that that is exactly why we questioned the deal. It is the wrong approach, it really is. For all the lawyers sitting on the Labour Benches and in the Government – well, supposed lawyers – why are they not effectively looking at the integrity of the proposed deal and providing the scrutiny that is needed? ...]
