Andrea Leadsom
In truth, work is going on the whole time, whether we are sitting or not, to manage essential repairs. Of course, the engineers are able to get on with more work when we are not here, but the reality is that we have to take a serious decision today about the future for generations to come, as opposed to the patch and mend that has been going on not just for a couple of years, but for 40 years and more.
Sir Greg Knight (East Yorkshire) (Con)
Will my right hon. Friend confirm that every Member of the House will have a free vote on this matter and that Ministers will not be subject to a payroll Whip?
Andrea Leadsom
On the Government side of the House, there will be a free vote for all Members, and for Ministers.
