HANSARD G7 SummitI do not want an election; I want to deliver Brexit on 31 October, and I think that that is what the people of this country want.03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI am grateful to my hon. Friend; we have battled together on many fronts. I can commit, of course, to updating the House regularly on this matter. It is highly unlikely that you…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI really think that the hon. Lady should learn to count. The 30-day timetable may have begun, but it has not elapsed. What our friends and partners want to see is that the House…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitWe do not negotiate in public, but I think I have given the House quite a lot already about what we want and what we want to do. The one thing that will stop us achieving this is…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitMy hon. Friend is totally right. There is a huge opportunity for the UK to recover its standing, which it used to have before 1973, as a great individual actor and campaigner for…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI thank the hon. Gentleman for the support that he gives to our campaign and the UK cause of 12 years of quality education for every girl in the world, and indeed, I thank members…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI do not comment on leaks. Even if I did, I have got no idea, quite frankly. I think it is highly unlikely.03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI thank my hon. Friend for everything she has done, both on the development front and in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, to champion female education around the world. I…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI am afraid I do not agree with what the right hon. Lady said about no deal. As I said on the steps of Downing Street, I think there will be bumps on the road, but this is a very…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI know the great interest that my right hon. Friend has taken in Ukraine and the fortunes of that wonderful country. I assure him that President Zelensky rang me before the G7…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI refer the hon. and learned Lady to the answer that I gave just a moment ago.03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitNo, and I made that point very clearly at Biarritz.03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitAs I said in my statement, the UK depends on a global trading system that is open. One of the most important things agreed at the G7—in the face of rising tensions between China…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitYes, indeed there is time, and we have gone over that thoroughly. I am delighted by my hon. Friend’s confidence; she speaks as someone well-acquainted with the ways of Brussels…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitWe are working with all sectors, including automotive supply chains, to protect their interests, but of course the best way to ensure that we do not have a no-deal Brexit is to…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI can, and the surest way to deliver Brexit with a deal is to vote with the Government, both tonight and tomorrow.03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitScots did not swallow that argument in 2014— [Interruption.] No, they rejected it by a thumping majority. They could see that they were better off together with the rest of the…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitNo, it was not. I do not know what happened to my right hon. Friend and his Morris Minor, but we intend to do a much better deal in Brussels over the next few weeks.03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI would just make one point: before we began our efforts, it was common ground with the EU27 that every dot and comma of the withdrawal agreement was immutable and could not be…03 Sept 2019HANSARD G7 SummitI am grateful to my hon. Friend. We are indeed, as I said at the G7—if my memory serves me correctly, we are making a contribution of another £1.4 billion to the green climate…03 Sept 2019
