EU Withdrawal Agreement

Debate between James Heappey and Steve Barclay

Tuesday 18th December 2018 Commons Chamber

[James Heappey (Wells) (Con)]

At least we’re here!

[Stephen Barclay]

The hon. Lady is correct that a backstop will be required in any deal that is reached with the European Union, but as my hon. Friend the Member for Wells (James Heappey) commented from a sedentary position, on an issue of such importance to the Lib Dems, it is good that the hon. Lady—unlike any of her Lib Dem colleagues—is actually in the House to make that point with such conviction.
