EU Exit Negotiations

Debate between David Davis and Andrew Bridgen

Monday 13th November 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Davis]

Yes, my hon. Friend is exactly right. Properly seen, this is a positive-sum negotiation. Only if one side is unwise and does not take the point on free trade will it become a negative-sum one.

[Andrew Bridgen (North West Leicestershire) (Con)]

We have heard a lot of complaint from Opposition Members about the Government’s generous offer of a meaningful vote on whatever deal the Secretary of State can achieve. Will my right hon. Friend confirm that that is exactly the basis on which the European Parliament will vote, and will he tell the House whether UK Members of the European Parliament will vote on the deal?

[Mr Davis]

The ones in receipt of the Conservative Whip will.
