Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill

Debate between Phil Wilson and Chris Leslie

2nd reading: House of Commons
Monday 8th January 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Leslie]

Just because the hon. Gentleman asserts that it was very clear does not mean that that was the case. In fact, his own friend and colleague, Daniel Hannan, a Member of the European Parliament, was very clear that the single market was incredibly important and that no one proposed leaving it. Many other hon. Members said similar.

[Phil Wilson (Sedgefield) (Lab)]

It was also made quite obvious during the referendum campaign that £350 million a week would be spent on the NHS, but I do not think that has come to fruition either.
