Lord Callanan
We hope that Parliament will not reject the deal, but if it does, clearly the Government will have to contemplate that and come back to Parliament with a statement on how we proceed.
Lord Grocott (Lab)
My Lords, has the Minister had any advice from any of the remainers on the difference between a people’s vote and a referendum?
Lord Callanan
No, I have not had any advice on that, as the noble Lord will probably suspect. This seems to be some sort of spin put on to try to convince the public that there would be another vote, as opposed to a second vote on the same subject.
