Debate between Jon Trickett and Anna Soubry

Thursday 2nd July 2015 Commons Chamber

[Anna Soubry]

That is where we completely fall out, unfortunately, because there was not even a draft contract. The email I saw was not even the beginnings; it was couched in terms of “perhaps”, “maybe”—

[Jon Trickett (Hemsworth) (Lab)]

No.

[Anna Soubry]

The hon. Gentleman says “No” from a sedentary position. He has not seen the email—

[Jon Trickett]

I have seen it.

[Anna Soubry]

Well, we will talk about it later. If the hon. Gentleman wants to intervene, he should stand up and do it in the right place.

In the emails I have seen, there is no contract. There is, unfortunately, no possible contract.
