Oral Answers to Questions

Giles Watling Excerpts

Tuesday 5th December 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Time at last to hear the voice of Clacton.

[Giles Watling (Clacton) (Con)]

Does the Secretary of State agree that it is as much in the interests of the EU 27 nations as it is in the interests of my constituents in Clacton and, indeed, people throughout the UK, for there to be a seamless continuation of civil co-operation between the EU 27 and the UK to provide companies, individuals and families with confidence that judgments can and will be enforced across borders? Will he update me on what is being done to secure that co-operation?

[Mr Speaker]

I was going to suggest that the hon. Gentleman seek an Adjournment debate on the matter, until I realised that in fact he had just conducted one.
