EU: Withdrawal and Future Relationship (Votes)

Helen Goodman Excerpts

Monday 1st April 2019 Commons Chamber

[Helen Goodman (Bishop Auckland) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. This is obviously a very disquieting evening for all of us. Unlike some other Members who have made points of order, I am not going to promote the merits, great though they are, of the motion put forward by the Father of the House. I just want to point out that the Government have an opportunity tomorrow to bring something forward to resolve this. The House has another day on Wednesday, and we might consider how we best use that, perhaps by looking at some different way of addressing these problems. We have got the time booked, so although this is desperate and last-minute, it is not the end.

[Mr Speaker]

Thank you. I am grateful to the hon. Lady.
