Lords ChamberRead Full debate Read Hansard Text Read Debate Ministerial Extracts
Lord Callanan
I can confirm that unless a deal with the EU is agreed, we will have no deal.
Baroness Redfern (Con)
My Lords, deal or no deal, does the Minister agree that clamouring for a second referendum erodes the basis of democracy by suggesting that rule by majority is an insufficient condition for democratic legitimacy? Would that therefore lead to a third referendum, and a fourth to verify the third?
Lord Callanan
I agree with my noble friend that we have had a people’s vote and we are certainly not contemplating a second one. We are going to implement the result of the first referendum in a way that commands the support of this Parliament.
