Article 50

Debate between Steven Paterson and David Davis

Tuesday 24th January 2017 Commons Chamber

[Steven Paterson (Stirling) (SNP)]

The Scottish Government have published the details of their proposals for maximising an ongoing relationship with the European Union. Does the Secretary of State recognise that refusing to publish a White Paper is tantamount to political cowardice?

[Mr Davis]

I really do not think so. I have never been accused of cowardice before, so I am not quite sure how to respond to the question, but the answer is no.
