As the hon. Lady would imagine, the proper processes were gone through to ensure that we were able to announce a Queen’s Speech. Opposition Members have been calling for a Queen’s Speech for week after week, and the hon. Member for Walsall South (Valerie Vaz) has demanded one. [Interruption.] She has. We will also ensure that the Domestic Abuse Bill, the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill and other Bills receive proper consideration and are rolled over.

Friend make a slight departure from great matters of state and reassure the good people of Shropshire that Brexit will be delivered?

I can, and the surest way to deliver Brexit with a deal is to vote with the Government, both tonight and tomorrow.
