Draft EU-Canada Trade Agreement Order

Debate between Baroness Winterton of Doncaster and Liam Fox

Tuesday 26th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Dr Fox]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I hesitate to raise this point of order, but in response—or non-response—to a series of interventions, the shadow Secretary of State promised the House that before he sat down he would make it clear whether he believed the Labour party would vote to ratify the agreement or lay a negative motion, which is procedurally very important under the CRAG procedure. Why did we not get an answer?

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

That is a matter of debate, not a point of order. I am sure that the shadow Secretary of State would intervene if he felt so inclined.
