UK’s Withdrawal from the EU

Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 February 2019. It occurred during Debate on UK’s Withdrawal from the EU.

That is completely right. That is what we are here for. We are not here to voice our own opinions or to fragment into factions and then impose views on others by virtue of deals done across the Floor of the House. We are elected on manifesto commitments, and we have an obligation to our constituents to make laws in their interests, not in ours. I therefore suggest that looking at article 4 is extremely important. I accept

that it is said that the article would apply only during the implementation period, but that in itself would put us at the mercy of our competitors.
