Article 50 Extension

Debate between Liz Kendall and Matt Rodda

Wednesday 20th March 2019 Commons Chamber

[Liz Kendall]

I completely agree. I will come back at the end of my speech to the Prime Minister’s way of dealing with Parliament.

Even if the Prime Minister succeeds in getting her withdrawal agreement through next week, Brexit will not be sorted, because the withdrawal agreement will not resolve any of the fundamental choices that we face about our future relationship with the EU. We will be leaving without knowing where we are going, which means that we will simply end up back here, time and again. We will be back here at the end of the transition period, and when that, too, is inevitably extended, we will be back here again, grappling with the same problems.

[Matt Rodda (Reading East) (Lab)]

Will my hon. Friend give way very briefly on that point?
