Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Edward Leigh and Alun Cairns

Wednesday 8th March 2017 Commons Chamber

[Sir Edward Leigh (Gainsborough) (Con)]

On behalf of the people of Wales, will my right hon. Friend tell the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union that nobody—not the unelected House of Lords or anybody else—is going to stand in the way of the will of the Welsh people to have their freedom?

[Alun Cairns]

My hon. Friend reminds us that Wales voted to leave the European Union at the recent referendum. There is an obligation on the Government and on both Houses of Parliament to accept its outcome.
