Following the Prime Minister’s statement on the political declaration for the UK’s future relationship with the EU, James Cleverly asks the PM to reaffirm that the mission remains to take back control of our money, borders, laws and trade policy, and to do so without putting our economic growth or the integrity of the United Kingdom in jeopardy.
James Cleverly (Braintree) (Con)
Hon. and gallant Members on both sides of the Chamber will be familiar with the term mission command. They will also be familiar with the importance of regularly restating the mission. Will my right hon. Friend therefore restate for the House today that any Government led by her will have as its mission that we will take back control of our money, borders, laws and trade policy, that we will honour the result of the referendum and that we will do so without putting our economic growth or the integrity of this United Kingdom in jeopardy?
The Prime Minister
I am very happy to give my hon. Friend the commitment that that is absolutely our mission.
