Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between David Jones and Andrew Rosindell

Thursday 1st December 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Jones]

This is important work, and it is much better to get a proper, reasonable Brexit than the hasty sort of Brexit that she and her colleagues seem to be advocating.

[Andrew Rosindell (Romford) (Con)]

2. What assessment his Department has made of the likelihood of the UK having to contribute to the EU budget after the UK has left the EU.
