Valerie responds to an emergency business statement

Following the vote on Tuesday 12 March 2019, I responded to an emergency business statement from the Leader of the House outlining the Government’s next steps:

“I thank the Leader of the House for that, but I am astonished at this business statement. We still have no idea on this, despite the Prime Minister setting out the next steps. We have had a vote and, as the Prime Minister herself said, we are now into an emergency business statement. This is callous and it is incompetence from the Government, and it is a discourtesy to the House and to the country.”
