Oral Answers to Questions

Alex Salmond Excerpts

Thursday 1st December 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Davis]

Yes, that is my belief.

[Alex Salmond (Gordon) (SNP)]

I congratulate the Government on the sophistication of their approach to Brexit. Deploying the Foreign Secretary to declare his undying support for free movement of labour is a masterly addition to the policy of chaos and confusion at the heart of the Government’s strategy. If 121 days is a long time in politics, how many days before 31 March will the Government narrow down their range of policies to one and tell us what it is? [Interruption.]

[Mr Davis]

I hear from behind me, “How is your poll rating?” I would not be so cruel to my old friend. We will use all 121 days to get the best possible policy for us and then we will put that single policy to the European Union.
