Exiting the European Union

Neil Gray Excerpts

Monday 11th March 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Lidington]

We would do whatever we could to achieve that. In that happy eventuality, discussions will open immediately through the usual channels to seek agreement on the swift passage of the Bill.

[Neil Gray (Airdrie and Shotts) (SNP)]

Everything has changed but nothing has changed. Will the Minister explain why, of all the information published this evening, the only unilateral declaration was the UK’s opinion about its ability to remove itself from the backstop?

[Mr Lidington]

I am advised that that is either being published as we speak or will be published imminently.
