Proceeding contribution from Ian Murray (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2016. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Next Steps in Leaving the European Union.


Next Steps in Leaving the European Union

This is the Secretary of State’s second statement on this issue. Frankly, he would have said more if he had said nothing at all. Can we conclude from his statement today that his definition of “taking back control” is that this sovereign Parliament will get no binding say on the negotiating stance, article 50 or even the final deal? What he said today is that of the 28 current members of the European Union, 27 sovereign Parliaments will get a say, but not this one.
