Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 January 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on New Partnership with the EU.
New Partnership with the EU
I think we should loyally support the Government. [Laughter.] Will the Secretary of State confirm that insisting on controlling our own borders and insisting on doing international trade deals are inconsistent not just with membership of the European Union but with the customs union and the single market? So I agree that, after the welcome tone of today’s speech, it is not hard Brexit—it is full Brexit.
