European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Debate between David Davis and Paul Farrelly

Ping Pong: House of Commons
Wednesday 20th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Davis]

In a moment.

Our amendment on the other hand is consistent with the notion that it is right for Parliament to express its view but not to instruct the Government on how to conduct themselves in an international negotiation.

[Paul Farrelly (Newcastle-under-Lyme) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker.

[Mr Davis]

As I have said, it passes the three tests set out by myself and the Prime Minister.

I give way to my hon. Friend the Member for Shipley (Philip Davies).

EU Exit Negotiations

Debate between David Davis and Paul Farrelly

Tuesday 5th December 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Davis]

First, the hon. Lady should not take sarcasm as fact. Secondly, the 142 areas do not all rely on EU law. I am afraid she is factually wrong.

[Paul Farrelly (Newcastle-under-Lyme) (Lab)]

Presuming that the Government do finally make progress at some stage and we leave the single market, will the Secretary of State outline to the House what sort of agreement he expects to reach on UK access to the European market for services?

[Mr Davis]

First, we have made a lot of progress. The question this week is sufficient progress—on that, by the way, I am quoting Jean-Claude Juncker again. On the hon. Gentleman’s substantive question, we would expect the free trade agreement to include the services sector.
