UK’s Withdrawal from the EU

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 February 2019. It occurred during Debate on UK’s Withdrawal from the EU.

I want to be a little bit helpful. In response to the right hon. Member for Wolverhampton South East (Mr McFadden), the Minister basically said that he did not see any difference between what President Macron has said and what the Prime Minister said yesterday. There is a huge difference. The Prime Minister said yesterday that she would use an extension for more dither, delay, faffing and kicking the can down the road; President Macron is saying that there has to be a purpose to a delay. The purpose that is gaining more and more credibility across the House is precisely to put this matter to a public vote.
