2018 June

At Business Question on 21 June 2018, I raised with the Leader of the House the President of the United State’s policy of separating children from their parents. This Government appear to lack moral authority. They have lost their place in the world as a moral force. The Prime Minister could have telephoned the President and told him that this is barbaric and inhumane.

I opened the Opposition Day debate on the Parliamentary Constituencies Bill on Tuesday 19 June 2018.

There were important votes on the EU Withdrawal Bill on 12 and 13 June 2018. These votes have come at time when the negotiations have stalled, the Cabinet remains split over two unworkable customs options and there has been yet another Ministerial resignation.

I asked the Leader of the House when the Government will publish its White Paper setting out its negotiating position with the European Union. There has been no information about the content or the title of the White Paper.
