John Baron MP: ‘no deal’ outcome is now possible

MP says this is a pivotal moment

This afternoon in the House of Commons, MPs voted on further Lords’ Amendments to the EU Withdrawal Bill. John Baron MP supported the Government in the vote on the ‘meaningful vote’ amendment. The Government won the vote by 319 votes to 303.

John said,

“The Government success ensures that a ‘no deal’ outcome remains possible. This is important. Whilst most of us want a good trade deal, to have ruled out the ‘no deal’ option would have guaranteed a worse outcome. The EU should take from this that we now mean business when negotiating.”

“Furthermore, this vote ensures we are leaving the EU. It will move the narrative of the debate on. We can now discuss the details of our withdrawal, including trade and immigration. This is a pivotal moment.”
