Please Don't Block Brexit

As I am sure you are aware, Theresa May and the Conservative Party are the only political party in the House of Commons that has respected the will of the British Party and is progressing with the Brexit process. Unlike the Liberal Democrats, who have continuously reversed their position and openly oppose the referendum result last year, it is the Conservatives that will deliver on this fundamental issue. 
 
As for Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party, despite constant promises to respect the election result, they voted en masse on Tuesday 12th September to frustrate the Brexit process and to specifically weaken the UK's negotiation position.
 
The Bill will give Ministers in the UK Government and in the devolved administrations a temporary power to make legal corrections to transposed EU legislation. This will be time-limited to two years after exit day. Parliament or the devolved legislatures will also be able to scrutinise any statutory instrument made under this power. I must emphasise that the power could only be used to make corrections to transposed law, for example, by removing references in transposed EU law to the UK as a member state of the EU. The Bill is not a vehicle for major policy changes. 
 
The Government also wants to ensure that power is returned as close as possible to communities as laws are returned to the UK. I expect that there will be a significant increase in the decision making powers of the devolved administrations but I want this approach to work coherently for the whole of the UK. 
 
I can also assure you that the UK will leave the EU on 29 March 2019 and that this means leaving the single market and the customs union at that point. The single market and the customs union are the main and essential elements of the EU. To remain in either would mean not really leaving the EU at all. Leaving these will ensure that the referendum result is respected in full and that the UK has more control over the issues you mention. 
 
There will, of course, be an implementation period as we leave the EU. A cliff-edge for business and individuals would not be in anyone's interests. But make no mistake: this will not be of unlimited duration. This would not be good for the UK or the EU.

This is what the Prime Minister highlighted in her recent Florence Speech and does not deter the UK from its final goal - to leave the European Union, so that we can be finally back in control of our immigration, trade and domestic laws.

I can nonetheless assure you, as your Conservative Member of Parliament, that I will certainly respect the EU referendum result and support the Government in the tough road ahead of EU negotiations and the Brexit process.
