Lord Bridges of Headley
The noble Viscount puts his finger on another of the myriad issues that my department and others are thinking about.
Lord Watts (Lab)
Will the Minister explain why the Government were happy to give a referendum to the British people when they did not know what the outcome of the negotiations would be, yet the Minister feels it would be inappropriate for them to have a vote when they do know the implications?
Lord Bridges of Headley
My Lords, we believe that we should honour the result of the referendum. Full stop. Period.
