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.

The position of the Labour party is that we have concerns about the backstop. [Interruption.] This is a very serious point and I intend to answer it. I

have not yet met anybody who does not have concerns about the backstop, both here and in Brussels, but we also recognise that, at this stage, with the article 50 window all but closed, we need a backstop, and it is inevitable that we need a backstop. That is our position.
