Draft Civil Legal Aid (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Robert Goodwill Excerpts

Tuesday 22nd January 2019 General Committees

[Lucy Frazer]

The best way to protect the citizens whom the hon. Lady talks about is to ensure that we have a deal. The Prime Minister’s deal will allow us an implementation period to negotiate the very points that the hon. Lady identifies. One of those points is an agreement in relation to families, on which we would be able to get a reciprocal arrangement in future.

[Mr Robert Goodwill (Scarborough and Whitby) (Con)]

Does my hon. Friend share my surprise that the shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Bolton South East, did not vote for that deal, especially given that 58.3% of people in Bolton voted to leave the European Union? The only way that we can guarantee that it will happen is to get the deal over the line.

[Lucy Frazer]

That is a very good point. I am sure hon. Members would like to continue discussing the very important SI before us, but I will commend it to the Committee.

Question put.
