Exiting the European Union and Global Trade

Baroness Winterton of Doncaster Excerpts

Thursday 6th July 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mr Duncan Smith]

No, I am not.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

Order. I am sure that Mr Gardiner will take the intervention when he wants to.

[Barry Gardiner]

As I was saying before I was persistently—and, I must say, quite rudely—interrupted, we have set out very clearly that we will try to secure exactly the same benefits that the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union claimed would be procured in the negotiations, but we are not fixated on the structures; we are fixated on the outcomes. But we will be leaving the European Union. The right hon. Gentleman can be assured that we are committed to honouring that manifesto commitment.

[Several hon. Members rose—]

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

Order. After the next speaker, I will be setting a six-minute time limit. A lot of Members have put in to speak, and it may have to be reduced further.
