Parliamentary Partnership Assembly

Baroness Laing of Elderslie Excerpts

Monday 6th December 2021 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Hammond (Wimbledon) (Con)]

Certainly not: my hon. Friend and I have disagreed about many aspects of this matter, but he was absolutely right to say that however we voted in the referendum, that is in the past. He was also right to say that this assembly could have a useful place in securing a sensible relationship between ourselves and the European Union. He and I know that we have not always agreed on this matter, but I would absolutely agree with him—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Eleanor Laing)]

Order. I am happy to let the hon. Gentleman finish, but he should do so briefly.

[Stephen Hammond]

I will finish on that point, Madam Deputy Speaker. I apologise.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I call Sir William Cash.

[Sir William Cash]

I have nothing further to say, Madam Deputy Speaker.
