European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Luke Graham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 September 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

The hon. Gentleman talks about representing Scotland, but let us remember that 1 million Scots voted to leave. In fact, a third of SNP voters voted to leave. [Interruption.] Those are public stats. What he is actually saying is that, if he truly wants to represent his constituents, he should respect the democratic will of the United Kingdom, which is what he, like all of us, is in this Parliament to do. If SNP Members want to be stronger for Scotland, I suggest that they engage by tabling detailed amendments rather than trying to create a wedge between the nations of the United Kingdom.
