Debate between Jake Berry and Philippa Whitford

Thursday 5th September 2019 Commons Chamber

[Jake Berry]

I am sure the hon. Gentleman would like to have blamed the passing of his surrender Bill on the House of Lords. The Members of Parliament who voted for it know that the Opposition parties have passed a law meaning that we cannot leave the European Union on 31 October, deal or no deal. If we do get to an election—if the Labour party finally has the backbone to have a general election—I will be reminding lots of those constituencies in the north of England that it was the Labour party that stopped us leaving on 31October.

[Dr Whitford]

Will the Minister give way?
