Article 50

Robert Jenrick Excerpts

Monday 7th November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Davis]

That is a very specific question; forgive me if I have not answered it before. I will write to the hon. Gentleman, but I think the answer is that there will be no change. The aim, as I have said to him before, is that common travel area rights both ways—including the rights to vote, to work and so on—will continue, but I will write to him about the detail.

[Robert Jenrick (Newark) (Con)]

If the Government do bring forward a Bill to trigger article 50 and any Member tries to amend it in any material way that binds the hands of the Prime Minister, does the Secretary of State agree that the British public would lose out? They would get a worse deal on our exit, so nobody who truly believes in our national interest would do that?

[Mr Davis]

My hon. Friend is exactly right. The whole purpose of our strategy is to get the best outcome for all people in Britain.
