During a recent Urgent Question on child refugees in Calais, I strongly welcome the considerable efforts that the Government have made to keep children and families together close to places where many of the refugees come from, such as Syria.
The big news of the week has of course been the launch of the Referendum campaign ahead of the vote on June 23rd. I made my position clear in a 2700 word open letter to constituents which I placed on my website over the weekend once the details were clear.
I have attached the minutes of the last A27 Working Group meeting together with a very helpful timeline slide and the link to my write up of the meeting on Facebook. I hope these are helpful.
I am going to Vote Leave so that we can have an independent and positive future, where politicians are accountable to people in the UK and can decide how best to spend money in the interest of British people, and so that we can trade with people around the world, be outward looking, and not held back by the many regulations and restrictions of the EU.
Following today's debate, I hope the Government can open up a dialogue with WASPI because we are talking about real women facing real hardship, after hard working lives doing the sort of things we encourage our constituents to do every day of the week
Whilst we recognise the huge effort the Prime Minister has put into the renegotiation, we are disappointed that his fellow European leaders did not take this opportunity to make the reforms that Europe so desperately needs. Alas, we do not believe that the deal finally offered by our European partners is one we can support as the basis for our continued membership of the EU.
