Q5. I thank the Prime Minister for giving us last week’s great exercise in democracy—[Interruption.]

[Mr Speaker]

Order. The hon. Gentleman will be heard. It is about us and this place, and he will be heard.

[Mr Carswell]

We on the leave side should recognise that although we won, it was a narrow mandate and plenty of decent, patriotic people voted for remain. Does the Prime Minister agree that both sides now need to come together to achieve a new post-EU national consensus, whereby we have close links with our friends and allies in Europe and beyond, while reclaiming our sovereignty?

[Mr Speaker]

I am keen to accommodate colleagues, but there is a premium on brevity—to be exemplified, as always, by Mr Douglas Carswell.

[Mr Douglas Carswell (Clacton) (UKIP)]

I applaud the Prime Minister and I welcome his statement. Now that withdrawal from the European Union is the policy of Her Majesty’s Government, will the Prime Minister confirm that some of the architects of the vote leave campaign, not just the Europhile mandarins, will be involved in the work of the new Cabinet Office unit?

[Mr Speaker]

How fortunate that the Minister of State has contributed! I should have been greatly saddened, and the House not inconsiderably impoverished, if a Home Office questions had passed without an intervention from the right hon. Gentleman.

[Mr Douglas Carswell (Clacton) (UKIP)]

Is the Home Secretary confident, given the limited budget, that the security services have the resources they need to keep us safe?
