Lord Bridges of Headley
I listen to all manner of people, my Lords, on all sides of the political divide and on all sides of the argument on this.
Viscount Hailsham (Con)
My Lords, does my noble friend agree that the passage of Article 50 will be enormously facilitated if the Green Paper makes it plain that the final and negotiated terms will be subject to approval by Parliament and, if Parliament so decides, in a further referendum?
Lord Bridges of Headley
My Lords, as the Prime Minister, my Secretary of State and I have made clear on a number of occasions, the Government will comply with all the constitutional and legal obligations that apply to the negotiated deal with the EU.
