A number of constituents have sent me a copy of a
campaign email regarding a proposed amendment by Caroline Lucas on Withdrawal
Agreement Bill.
Ms Lucas is well known for her opposition to
leaving the EU and not honouring the referendum result. In light of the recent
general election result it is saddening if not unsurprising that there
continues to be attempts to frustrate and confuse the process of leaving.
Hundreds of hours have already been spent debating
Brexit and whilst the Bill should go through due process I have every
confidence that the matters raised in this campaign email will be fully
considered and debated.
Scare stories about plans the government has on the
future of the UK outside the EU have always been spurious. Ms Lucas latest
contribution is unhelpful.
