Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Edward Leigh and Greg Hands

Thursday 3rd November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Sir Edward Leigh (Gainsborough) (Con)]

The truth is that this Parliament is, always has been and always will be sovereign, so Parliament could overcome any trade deal it wanted. The question we have to ask ourselves is whether Parliament should resist the will of the people.

[Greg Hands]

My hon. Friend makes a very good point. I am not going to add anything to what the Secretary of State said earlier about the Court judgment, which has just been released.
