Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 April 2019. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House.

I was intrigued by the hon. Gentleman�s reference to taking back control because, of course, what actually happened is that the referendum Act, by 6:1 in this House, gave the decision to the British people�that is what the vote was about�and they also voted incessantly, and rightly, for a whole series of enactments. In fact, the sovereignty of this Parliament has been preserved, but it was given to the people so that they could make the decision, and now Parliament is trying to take it back again.
