Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Kemi Badenoch and David Davis

Thursday 7th September 2017 Commons Chamber

[Mrs Kemi Badenoch (Saffron Walden) (Con)]

T4. The purpose of the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill is to provide continuity and a working statute book on the day we leave. Will my right hon. Friend make it absolutely clear that a vote against this Bill is a vote for chaos and for uncertainty?

[Mr David Davis]

My hon. Friend is exactly right about that, and she allows me to reiterate one other point: all the talk from Opposition Members has been about changing things in this Bill. The Bill is about maintaining continuity; it is about keeping in place the aims and purposes of all the European law that we currently have—and will have the day after we leave.
