European Council

Tom Brake Excerpts

Monday 24th June 2019 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

This issue has been raised on a number of occasions in debates in the European Union. I assure my hon. Friend that member states sitting around the table are fully apprised of the matter and considering their position.

[Tom Brake (Carshalton and Wallington) (LD)]

Does the Prime Minister believe that, to engage constructively with the European Union, our new Prime Minister must set out before the summer recess, here in Parliament, his approach to Brexit, so that we and the European Union can establish whether it commands the confidence of the House?

[The Prime Minister]

That will be a matter for the incoming Prime Minister.
