The Prime Minister
No, it is not because I am concerned about what the result of such a vote would be; it is because I believe that, having given the decision to the British people on whether we should leave the European Union, it is the duty of this House to deliver on that.
Sir Desmond Swayne (New Forest West) (Con)

The Prime Minister
My right hon. Friend makes a very important point. I believe that a second referendum would be divisive, rather than healing.
