Progress on EU Negotiations

Janet Daby Excerpts

Thursday 22nd November 2018 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

The UK will end free movement and put in place its own immigration system for people from across the world, including from EU member states. Of course, the arrangements that other member states put in place will be a matter for them. We have clear arrangements for the sort of short-term visits—tourist and business visits—that are an important part of the movement the hon. Gentleman talks about.

[Janet Daby (Lewisham East) (Lab)]

Speaking as the newest Member, I can say that from day one I have been bombarded with correspondence from constituents requesting a people’s vote. The Prime Minister continually states that this is a good deal for the UK—not the best deal or a brilliant deal but a good deal. If she is so confident, there is no reason not to go for a people’s vote.

[The Prime Minister]

I refer the hon. Lady to the answer I gave earlier.
