Oral Answers to Questions

Robert Neill Excerpts

Thursday 27th April 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Davis]

It is interesting that the Scottish National party wants to give €60 billion; I had not realised that up until now.

[Robert Neill (Bromley and Chislehurst) (Con)]

My constituents in Bromley and Chislehurst welcome the emphasis given to financial services, our largest employer. Does the Secretary of State also recognise that financial services are important to the Crown dependencies, which require protocol 3 access, which will be lost upon our leaving the EU, and also to the British overseas territory of Gibraltar? Will he make sure that those two key areas also get the full benefit of our ambitious free trade deal?

[Mr Davis]

My hon. Friend is just about old enough to remember that I have had to defend Gibraltar before. We succeeded then; we will succeed now.
