Parliamentary Scrutiny of Leaving the EU

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

Like the hon. Member for Richmond (Yorks) (Rishi Sunak), I also have a business background, as of course does the director general of the CBI, Carolyn Fairbairn, who said:

“At the moment if the commentary was to read into what we’ve heard so far, it’s that we’re heading to something of a cliff edge in two and a half years.”

Does my hon. and learned Friend recognise, as I do, that there are many people in business who are very, very concerned about the lack of commentary and lack of direction from the Government?
