Business of the House

Debate between Carol Monaghan and Jacob Rees-Mogg

Thursday 5th September 2019 Commons Chamber

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

If the hon. Lady sends me a copy of her letter, I will of course chase it up, but 76 days ago my right hon. Friend was not yet Prime Minister. However, if she sends it to me, I absolutely promise I will take it up and try to get an answer as soon as possible.

[Carol Monaghan (Glasgow North West) (SNP)]

Will the Leader of the House confirm whether it is a Government tactic to cause reputational damage to experts such as Dr David Nicholl, who dared to challenge the Government and raise legitimate concerns about the impact of no deal?

[Mr Rees-Mogg]

Frankly, I think when people start saying that people are going to die because of Brexit, their reputations are destroyed by themselves.
