Lib Dems: We will use “any means possible” to secure proper Brexit debate

by Steve Beasant on 10 January, 2019

Responding to reports Downing Street believes that if May’s deal is voted down, as expected, the Plan B debate outlined under the Grieve amendment will only be 90 minutes long with one amendment, Liberal Democrat Brexit Spokesperson Tom Brake said: 

“This is yet another shameful attempt from Theresa May and her cronies to shut down the right of MPs to debate the unraveling consequences of this Brexit mess.

“Clearly the Conservatives have learnt nothing from the last two defeats if they believe Parliament will accept a measly 90 minute debate with only one amendment.

Liberal Democrats demand better. We will use all parliamentary means possible to secure proper debate, including debating a People’s Vote with the option to remain in the EU.”
