UK’s Withdrawal from the EU

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

I am going to make some progress. Labour’s amendment is intended to put a hard stop to running down the clock. It states that on 27 February the Government must put a deal to the House for its approval, or table an amendable motion so that the House can take control of what happens next. It is essential that we do so. Businesses are saying that they cannot wait any longer. They are putting off investment decisions, and they cannot tolerate the threat of no deal. They are making and implementing contingency plans, some of which are irreversible.
