Proceeding contribution from Michael Tomlinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 September 2019. It occurred during Emergency debate on European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 2) Act 2019 (Rule of Law).
European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 2) Act 2019 (Rule of Law)
I am grateful to my right hon. Friend.
There have been questions about why my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary is to respond to the debate, and a ridiculous point of order was made at the beginning. My right hon. Friend is the Foreign Secretary and the first Secretary of State. He is, in effect, the Deputy Prime Minister, and it is perfectly appropriate and reasonable for him to respond to an emergency debate under Standing Order No. 24.
