Proceeding contribution from Lord Callanan (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 9 January 2019. It occurred during Debate on Brexit: Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration.


Brexit: Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration

My Lords, I thank the noble Lord for his amusing contribution. I am sure that many noble Lords would disagree with his assessment of the capabilities of our excellent Navy. We make no apologies whatever for preparing for a no-deal situation. The exit date was legislated for in the notification of withdrawal Act and in the EU withdrawal Act last year. We will be leaving the EU on 29 March next year.
