Kwasi Kwarteng
I am not going to second-guess your decision on the meaningful vote, Mr Speaker, but there is a body of opinion, which I happen to share, that the circumstances will have changed—we will have had EU input on the timetable—and that it may well be argued that those changed circumstances allow another meaningful vote.
Tom Pursglove (Corby) (Con)
I am afraid that I fundamentally disagree with this business of extension in the first place, but will my hon. Friend confirm whether there are any additional financial commitments associated with the proposed extension?
Kwasi Kwarteng
As far as I am aware, we have not discussed any more financial commitments outside those detailed in part 5 of the withdrawal agreement.
