Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Kwasi Kwarteng and Phil Wilson

Tuesday 22nd October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Kwasi Kwarteng]

I would be happy to visit Angus at any opportune time.

[Phil Wilson (Sedgefield) (Lab)]

Sedgefield is home to the largest business park in the north-east of England, with 500 companies and 10,000 to 12,000 jobs. More than 50% of the jobs and businesses there rely in some way on trade with the EU. If the Secretary of State has her way and there is no more frictionless trade with the EU, no more customs union and no access to the single market as there is now, does she not have a responsibility to publish an economic assessment on the effects that will have on my constituents’ jobs?
