Prorogation of Parliament — [Joan Ryan in the Chair] ( 9 Sep 2019)

Paul Scully: .... We would like to see this dealt with. If the UK is leaving, it should leave on the 31st of October.” Pretty well every other debate that we have had over the last three years has boiled down to Brexit. We have failed over the last three years. What we are asking for by moving the Benn Bill, not proroguing Parliament and not having a general election continues our failure. Too many...

Paul Scully: ...Opposition Members want. However, 14 October has been determined as the date for the Queen’s Speech because we want to set out our domestic agenda.

Prorogation of Parliament — [Joan Ryan in the Chair] ( 9 Sep 2019)

Paul Scully: ...around me acting in the most stupid way.” I blame people on both sides of the argument equally; I am an equal opportunity critic. We should be talking about how we leave, not whether we leave. Brexit is a big issue that divides parties, communities and families. None the less, we were asked a relatively simple question: do we leave or remain? Leave won, and it is not beyond the wit of...

Prorogation of Parliament — [Joan Ryan in the Chair] ( 9 Sep 2019)

Paul Scully: ...certainly, to boredom. There is one way to sort it out. We can sit here contemplating our navels, or we can go out and speak to the people. We can have a general election, in which we can discuss Brexit and engage 70 million people, not just 650. To me, that is democracy in action. Some hon. Members might say, “Let’s have a second referendum.” There are clearly issues with that. It...

With regard to securing that Brexit, the petitioners and the 116,000 people who signed the petition can rest assured: the Government and a lot of Government...

Leaving the European Union — [David Hanson in the Chair] ( 4 Feb 2019)

Paul Scully: Exactly: we return to it. I will read the petition, entitled “Brexit re article 50 it must not be suspended/stopped under any circumstances”, into Hansard so that it can have its full say: “The full details are well known to everyone the media has covered it fully, the British people MUST be given the Brexit they voted for anything else is not acceptable to the British public ARTICLE 50...

Leaving the EU — [David Hanson in the Chair] (14 Jan 2019)

Paul Scully: ...pm on a Monday is the slot that is allocated every week, so there is not a lot of scope for flexibility.

We try to give people a voice as much as we can, but I take his point.

Leaving the EU — [David Hanson in the Chair] (14 Jan 2019)

Paul Scully: ...a further referendum on leaving the EU, and 226509 and 236261 relating to not leaving the EU. It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Hanson.
