MP says Parliament must send clear message to the EU
Following assurances given at today’s meeting with the Prime Minister, John has withdrawn his Amendment (K) and put his name to Amendment (N), which has also been signed by Sir Graham Brady MP, the Chairman of the 1922 Committee of Conservative backbenchers, amongst others.
Amendment (N) is very similar to Amendment (K), given it supports the passing of the Withdrawal Agreement as long as the backstop is removed. The amendment will be debated tomorrow if selected, and John has withdrawn his amendment to increase the chances that (N) will be selected by the Speaker.
John said,
“I urge fellow Conservatives to support Amendment (N). This stands the best chance of uniting the Party, getting the DUP on board, and sending a clear message to the EU that the backstop is the key problem – without a majority tomorrow, the EU could conclude the backstop is not important.”
