On 21 May 2018, as Shadow Leader of the House I spoke in the Emergency Debate on Private Members’ Bills Money Resolutions. An emergency debate is a debate called at short notice in the House of Commons on a matter that should have urgent consideration.
On Tuesday 22 May 2018 the shadow cabinet took part in a dementia awareness training session as part of Dementia Action Week.
I asked the Leader of the House when the Withdrawal Bill will be brought back to the House of Commons and when the customs Bill will come to the House on Report and Third Reading. The animal welfare Bill, the immigration Bill and the fisheries Bill have not yet been published, and I also asked when the agriculture Bill will be published. There are 10 months to go before we leave the European Union, and the Government are still negotiating about the negotiations. This Government is incompetent and divided.
