UK’s Withdrawal from the EU

Proceeding contribution from Steve Barclay (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 February 2019. It occurred during Debate on UK’s Withdrawal from the EU.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am happy to confirm that, because that is what the legislation says. The only way to avoid no deal—as the Prime Minister has repeatedly said, and as is backed up in legislation—is either to secure a deal on the terms that the Prime Minister has set out, with the mandate that the House gave her in response to the earlier motion, or to revoke article 50. The court case says that the only alternative would be to revoke, and revoking would be unconditional and unequivocal.
