Campaign reply - “Extension of Transition Period.”


A number of constituents have sent me a copy on a campaign email entitled “Extension of Transition Period.”

I fear this latest attempt to reopen a debate that was resoundingly settled both at the referendum and at the last general election is deeply flawed and wrong.

As widely reported across the media today the government will not be asking for an extension to the deadline. I fully support this statement.

It is imperative that businesses and families have continued clarity on the timetable following the transition period and I welcome this confirmation.
