The right hon. Gentleman mentions the backstop. May I just remind him and other Members of the House that all the arguments�all the bitter arguments�about the backstop will become totally irrelevant if we do not approve the Prime Minister�s Brexit deal? We need the Brexit deal to be signed and
approved by this House in order to have an implementation period, and it is only at the end of the implementation period that a backstop even becomes a possibility�a possibility�not a necessary or a requirement at that stage. We need the Bill .
