Point of order from Lucy Powell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 28 April 2021. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Insolvency.
Insolvency
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. During Prime Minister’s questions today, the Prime Minister claimed that
“last night our friends in the European Union voted to approve our Brexit deal, which he opposed.”
That is totally incorrect. You will remember, Madam Deputy Speaker, that in an extraordinary sitting of this House of Commons on 30 December 2020, the Leader of the Opposition and the whole Labour party voted for the Brexit deal agreed by the Government and the EU. As limited as it was, we backed it and avoided a no-deal scenario. Do you agree, Madam Deputy Speaker, that it is vital that the Prime Minister returns to the House today to swiftly correct the record?
