Sir Bernard Jenkin

Conservative — Harwich and North Essex

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 May 2025

Debate

UK-EU Summit

Contribution

May I point out that the Conservative motion says that the Conservatives stand by the result of the 2016 referendum, but the Labour amendment does not say the same of the Labour party? Is the right hon. Gentleman saying that a one-term mandate in one election trumps a referendum result, or does he respect the referendum result of 2016?
