Oral Answers to Questions

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Thursday 9th January 2020 Commons Chamber

[Steve Barclay]

The whole point of the deal—I hope the hon. Gentleman supports it on Third Reading—is that it ensures that we will leave in a smooth and orderly way. The specific issues of hill farmers are matters for both the negotiation and the Agriculture Bill. I am sure he, among others, will contribute to that debate.

[Mr Speaker]

Question 14. Karl MᶜCartney.

[Karl MᶜCartney (Lincoln) (Con)]

Thank you, Mr Speaker. It is good to be back—and I do like your socks.

[The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union (Steve Barclay)]

I welcome my hon. Friend back to his place as a great champion of the constituency of Lincoln. We continue to have regular conversations with ministerial colleagues on all aspects of exiting the European Union, including fisheries and marine policy.

[Mr Speaker]

Topical questions. Nigel Mills. [Interruption.] Sorry—supplementary question, Karl MᶜCartney.
