Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from Mark Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 April 2019. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House.

Indeed, but given that a number of Members of this House have made it quite clear that they do not want to deliver the result of the last referendum, I am not sure that a fair choice would be presented to the public or that they would be given the full range of options.

Let me conclude with a message for those on my Front Bench. I do not know where the discussions with the Leader of the Opposition are going to go, but all I would say is this. Having looked carefully at the indicative votes, I would issue a word of caution. If the Government end up trying to deliver a withdrawal agreement and political declaration that tries to deliver something that

has been opposed by a significant majority of their own Members of Parliament�75% of Conservative MPs voted against a customs union and common market 2.0�it is not going to end well. I urge the Government, even at this stage, to reflect on that and perhaps change course.
