Leaving the EU: Negotiations

Debate between John Lamont and Ed Davey

Tuesday 10th July 2018 Commons Chamber

[John Lamont]

I have greater faith in the people of this country to make an informed decision—and, as I said earlier, they are entitled to vote in any way and for whatever reason they choose. Our job as parliamentarians is to accept their ultimate decision.

[Sir Edward Davey]

Will the hon. Gentleman give way?

[John Lamont]

I want to make just a little bit more progress.

I think that trying to unpick the result and the decision-making process of our electorate is a very dangerous thing to do.
