We have therefore already started making the necessary domestic preparations in order to prepare for this potential outcome. However, as the Prime Minister has said, we will make every effort to ensure the Withdrawal Agreement is ratified by 22 May so that we do not need to hold these elections.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 25/04/2019 10:51:43 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
