Leaving the European Union

Martin Whitfield Excerpts

Tuesday 26th February 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

The hon. Member for East Lothian (Martin Whitfield) invariably has a sunny disposition, so it is always a pleasure to call him.

[Martin Whitfield (East Lothian) (Lab)]

I am very grateful, Mr Speaker. I know the Prime Minister has talked about addressing the things immediately before us first, but can she put her mind to the fact that the spring statement is due on 13 March? How will today’s statement affect that?

[The Prime Minister]

The spring statement will still go ahead.
