Triggering Article 50 is something for the Government to get on with. Parliament had its say in legislating for the Referendum, which it did in both Houses, and with cross-party support by a margin of 6 to 1.

The people have spoken, and it is now down to the Government to act on their orders.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 01/11/2016 08:53:54 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
