Parliamentary Scrutiny of Leaving the EU

Proceeding contribution from Keir Starmer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 October 2016. It occurred during Opposition day on Parliamentary Scrutiny of Leaving the EU.

I will not give way, no. We are debating a fundamental question, which is whether the basic plans for the negotiating position will be put before the House. That really matters. Of course there is a degree of detail that cannot be discussed. Of course there is a degree of flexibility that must be there in any negotiation. Of course the starting position may not be the end position. We all accept that; we are all grown up. The question here is whether the basic terms should be put before the House.
