Leaving the European Union

Proceeding contribution from Andrea Jenkyns (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 November 2018. It occurred during e-petition debate on Leaving the European Union.

SNP Members are particularly keen to overturn the referendum result, and I suggest they be cautious about setting that dangerous precedent. Their sole purpose is independence for Scotland; I do not support that, nor does Scotland, but nevertheless let us imagine Parliament overturning a yes vote. That would simply be wrong. We are leaving the EU. It is what the British public voted for and what we must deliver. If we do not, more is at stake than simply keeping the status quo; we will erode trust in our democracy.
