Leaving the EU

Debate between David Davis and Steve Baker

Tuesday 24th October 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Baker]

First, if memory serves, about 1 million people in Scotland voted to leave the European Union.

[The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union (Mr David Davis)]

More than voted SNP.

[Mr Baker]

Yes, and we are seeking a deal that works for all parts of the United Kingdom.

We are conducting a wide range of analysis of not only our strengths and interests, but those of our negotiating partners. We will continue that analysis, and it will continue to inform our negotiating position.

Our plans have been carefully developed to provide the flexibility to respond to a range of negotiated outcomes and to prepare us for the unlikely eventuality of not securing a deal. Some of our planning has already become evident, and more planning will become public over the coming months.
