Brexit: Support for Remaining in the EU

Debate between Lord Bridges of Headley and Lord Lilley

Wednesday 16th January 2019 Lords Chamber

[Lord Bridges of Headley (Con)]

My Lords—

[Lord Lilley (Con)]

My Lords—

[Noble Lords]

Bridges!

[Lord Bridges of Headley]

I give way.

[Lord Lilley]

Does my noble friend agree that it is very important to keep one’s word? Does he recall the then Prime Minister saying at the beginning of the referendum campaign:

“When the British people speak, their voice will be respected—not ignored. If we vote to leave, then we will leave. There will not be another renegotiation and another referendum”?


That was endorsed by all sides of the campaign.
