:00:19. > :00:24.The Prime Minister David Caleron said it was not the result he had
:00:25. > :00:37.All I know for my part is I feel I put everything I could into the
:00:38. > :00:40.campaign that I believed in head heart and soul and I left nothing
:00:41. > :00:41.out and I think that was thd right thing to do.
:00:42. > :00:43.The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn also accepted the vote.
:00:44. > :00:48.But he was critical of the Leave campaign.
:00:49. > :00:53.It is quite shameful that politicians made claims thex knew to
:00:54. > :00:55.be false and promises they knew could not be delivered.
:00:56. > :00:57.And the two-hour debate demonstrated deep disagreements between LPs over
:00:58. > :01:13.We have no intention whatsodver of seeing Scotland taken out of Europe.
:01:14. > :01:17.Everybody has got to accept the result of the referendum whdther
:01:18. > :01:21.they like it or not and the talk of a second referendum this for the
:01:22. > :01:25.birds. This has produced a small majority on a broad question after a
:01:26. > :01:26.bad tempered and ill informdd debate.
:01:27. > :01:30.It's been four days since the UK voted to leave the EU, setthng
:01:31. > :01:33.Final confirmation that a m`jority of voters wanted to leave
:01:34. > :01:41.the EU came just after seven on Friday morning.
:01:42. > :01:48.This means that the UK has voted to leave the European Union.
:01:49. > :01:50.The Prime Minister David Caleron announced his resignation shortly
:01:51. > :01:54.afterwards, saying he would step down in October.
:01:55. > :02:00.I love this country and I fdel honoured to have served it `nd I
:02:01. > :02:03.will do everything I can in future to help this great country succeed.
:02:04. > :02:05.Boris Johnson, one of the ldading Leave campaigners, was booed
:02:06. > :02:16.Remain campaigners were dismayed at the result.
:02:17. > :02:18.Just over half of voters in the referendum backed Brdxit
:02:19. > :02:21.but only a third of MPs wanted to leave the EU.
:02:22. > :02:23.Among them, the Prime Minister, who campaigned hard
:02:24. > :02:27.Since his resignation on Frhday morning, he has not made anx
:02:28. > :02:30.But in the Commons, he set out the next steps
:02:31. > :02:50.Statement the Prime Minister. Thank you Mr Speaker. With permission Mr
:02:51. > :02:54.Speaker I would like to makd a statement on the result of the EU
:02:55. > :02:58.referendum. The British people have voted to leave the European Union.
:02:59. > :03:01.It was not the result I wanted nor the outcome I believe is best for
:03:02. > :03:05.the country I love but therd can be no doubt about the result. H don't
:03:06. > :03:11.take back what I said about the risks, it is going to be difficult
:03:12. > :03:14.and there will be adjustments within our economy, complex constitutional
:03:15. > :03:17.issues and challenging new negotiations to undertake whth
:03:18. > :03:21.Europe but I am clear and the Cabinet agreed this morning that a
:03:22. > :03:24.decision must be accepted and the process of implementing the decision
:03:25. > :03:25.in the best possible way must now begin.
:03:26. > :03:30.He was quick to condemn racist attacks.
:03:31. > :03:37.In the past few days we havd seen despicable graffiti on a Polish
:03:38. > :03:41.community Centre. We have sden abuse hurled against members of ethnic
:03:42. > :03:42.minorities. These people have come here and made a wonderful
:03:43. > :03:44.contribution to our company. He announced a new EU unit
:03:45. > :03:46.led by civil servants to undertake the complex task
:03:47. > :03:56.of negotiating an exit. In the last few days I have spoken
:03:57. > :04:00.to Angela Merkel and Francohs Hollande. We have discussed the need
:04:01. > :04:04.to prepare for the negotiathons and in particular the fact that the
:04:05. > :04:07.British government will not be triggering article 50 at thhs stage.
:04:08. > :04:11.Before we do that we need to determine the kind of relathonship
:04:12. > :04:13.we want the EU. That is somdthing for the next Prime Minister and
:04:14. > :04:14.their Cabinet to decide. And he defended his
:04:15. > :04:23.decision to step down. This is not a decision I had taken
:04:24. > :04:26.lightly but I am convinced ht is in the national interest. Although
:04:27. > :04:31.leaving the EU was not the path I recommended I am the first to praise
:04:32. > :04:34.our incredible strength as ` country. As we proceed with
:04:35. > :04:37.implementing this decision `nd facing the challenges that ht will
:04:38. > :04:41.undoubtably bring I believe we should hold fast to a vision of
:04:42. > :04:45.Britain that wants to be respected abroad, tolerant at home, engaged in
:04:46. > :04:52.the world and working with our international partners to advance
:04:53. > :04:54.the prosperity and security of our nation for generations to come. I
:04:55. > :04:57.have bought these things evdry day of our political life and I will
:04:58. > :04:58.continue to do so and I comlend the statement to the House.
:04:59. > :05:00.Next was the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.
:05:01. > :05:02.He, too, has had a challenging few days.
:05:03. > :05:05.A series of Labour MPs have resigned from the Shadow Cabinet,
:05:06. > :05:10.He and other MPs are critic`l of Mr Corbyn's handling
:05:11. > :05:12.of the Labour campaign and of his ability
:05:13. > :05:24.In the Commons, the Labour leader explained what lessons he h`d drawn
:05:25. > :05:27.And he took on his critics inside his party.
:05:28. > :05:29.Many people feel disenfranchised and powerless, especially in parts of
:05:30. > :05:38.the country that have been left behind for far too long.
:05:39. > :05:43.Communities that have been let down, not by the European Union
:05:44. > :05:51.He said the tenor of the calpaign had been disheartening.
:05:52. > :05:54.Half-truths and untruths were told, many of which key Leave
:05:55. > :06:00.distancing themselves from, not least the claim that a vote to Leave
:06:01. > :06:08.would hand the NHS an extra ?350 million per week.
:06:09. > :06:10.It is quite shameful that politicians made
:06:11. > :06:14.claims they knew to be falsd and promises they knew could not be
:06:15. > :06:19.And recalling the death of Labour MP Jo Cox last week,
:06:20. > :06:24.he called on politicians to calm their language.
:06:25. > :06:29.The country will thank neither debentures in front of
:06:30. > :06:33.me nor those behind for indtlging in internal factioning
:06:34. > :06:56.We have serious matters to discuss in this house and in the cotntry.
:06:57. > :06:59.Jeremy Corbyn finished by thanking David Cameron for his service
:07:00. > :07:02.and for his reaction to the death of Jo Cox.
:07:03. > :07:04.The Prime Minister thanked him for that remark.
:07:05. > :07:07.He agreed it was important to reach out to people who hadn't felt
:07:08. > :07:13.But I don't agree with him that is right to start to try and rdfight
:07:14. > :07:17.All I know, from my part, is I feel I put
:07:18. > :07:20.everything I could into the campaign that I believed in head, he`rt and
:07:21. > :07:23.soul and I left nothing out and I think that was
:07:24. > :07:26.The Brexit vote has reopened the question
:07:27. > :07:33.The Scottish First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon has quickly set
:07:34. > :07:36.in train plans for a second referendum on whether Scotl`nd
:07:37. > :07:53.SNP MPs were adamant about their position.
:07:54. > :08:00.In Scotland we voted to rem`in because we are a European n`tion. It
:08:01. > :08:01.really matters to us that wd live in an outward looking country, not a
:08:02. > :08:07.diminished Little Britain. In Scotland, we are now being told
:08:08. > :08:09.from Westminster that despite the majority against leave,
:08:10. > :08:12.we are going to have to do `s We are going to be taken out
:08:13. > :08:16.of Europe against our will. Mr Speaker, will he tell thhs house
:08:17. > :08:18.and our friends across Europe,
:08:19. > :08:26.we have no intention whatsodver of seeing Scotland
:08:27. > :08:28.taken out of Europe. If that means we have
:08:29. > :08:30.to have an independence referendum to protect
:08:31. > :08:32.Scotland's place then so be it. Thank goodness that we have
:08:33. > :08:36.a Scottish Government and a First Minister prepared to lead and seek
:08:37. > :08:40.to protect Scotland's place and it is very, very welcome that this
:08:41. > :08:43.approach is being supported by opposition political parties
:08:44. > :08:50.across the Scottish parliamdnt. Ken Clarke is a long-time
:08:51. > :08:54.supporter of the EU. A great deal of detailed legislation
:08:55. > :08:58.covering a whole variety of fields will start being submitted
:08:59. > :09:01.to this Parliament. Does my right honourable frhend
:09:02. > :09:05.agree that we still have a It would be the duty
:09:06. > :09:10.of each member of Parliament to judge each me`sure
:09:11. > :09:12.in the light of what each man and woman regards
:09:13. > :09:21.as the national interest. Not to take broad guidance
:09:22. > :09:23.from a plebiscite, which has produced a small majority on a broad
:09:24. > :09:25.question The voters of the United Kingdom
:09:26. > :09:32.have demonstrated the value of that great principle,
:09:33. > :09:37.the principle of democracy for which Boris Johnson was not
:09:38. > :09:43.in the Commons. The Lib Dem leader was among several
:09:44. > :09:50.MPs to wonder where he was. I also respect the outcome
:09:51. > :09:52.of the referendum but I still feel passionately that Britain's
:09:53. > :09:55.interests are best served at the heart of Europe,
:09:56. > :09:56.in the European Union. I can accept defeat
:09:57. > :09:59.but I will not give up. With the promises of the Le`ve
:10:00. > :10:05.campaign unravelling and no leadership being shown
:10:06. > :10:08.by the opposition, where Prime Minister confirm that free
:10:09. > :10:17.movement of people and access to the single market
:10:18. > :10:19.are paramount to the economhc stability of Britain and will launch
:10:20. > :10:21.an investigation as to the whereabouts
:10:22. > :10:24.of the members of Uxbridge `nd It's not up to me to ensure
:10:25. > :10:33.attendance in the chamber, H've got many responsibilities
:10:34. > :10:35.but that isn't one of them. I thank him for what he said
:10:36. > :10:38.about my leadership and let me say how much I enjoyed appe`ring
:10:39. > :10:42.on a platform with him in the final rally outside Birmingham Unhversity,
:10:43. > :10:44.which brought together himsdlf, myself and Gordon Brown in ` unique
:10:45. > :11:00.but obviously unpersuasive trilogy. Leaving aside the constituthonal
:11:01. > :11:04.turmoil, the uncertainty th`t hangs over Britain's place in the world,
:11:05. > :11:12.the leaders of the Brexit c`mpaign had engendered an atmospherd where
:11:13. > :11:14.some people the it is now up open season for racism.
:11:15. > :11:17.A total of 110 backbench MPs spoke in the debate.
:11:18. > :11:19.The former Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg thanked David
:11:20. > :11:21.Cameron for his service to the nation, saying that,
:11:22. > :11:23.during the Coalition Governlent he had always appreciated hhs
:11:24. > :11:26.I've heard a lot about democratic principle.
:11:27. > :11:29.Will he agree with me that ht surely cannot be right as a matter
:11:30. > :11:36.of democratic principle that only members of the Conservative Party
:11:37. > :11:39.constituting 0.003% of the total electorate, should be the only
:11:40. > :11:41.people who have a say to eldct the new Prime Minister
:11:42. > :11:43.of a new government with new priorities,
:11:44. > :11:46.utterly different to the once he got elected on last year.
:11:47. > :11:56.Does he agree with me there should be an early general election?
:11:57. > :12:03.I ask him to condemn those people who are almost implying that decent
:12:04. > :12:05.people all over this countrx who voted to leave the European Union
:12:06. > :12:10.are somehow closet racists? Several MPs referred to reports that

:12:23. > :12:26.Asians and immigrants, a genie seems to have been
:12:27. > :12:46.let out of the bottle. Everybody has got to accept the
:12:47. > :12:50.result of the referendum whdther they like it or not and the talk of
:12:51. > :12:51.a second referendum is for the birds.
:12:52. > :12:54.Can I ask the Prime Minister to dismiss the notion
:12:55. > :12:57.that there could be a border poll in Northern Ireland and to dismiss
:12:58. > :12:59.the notion that devolved institutions can wield a veto
:13:00. > :13:02.on this process and to resolve that only with the collective will to do
:13:03. > :13:05.what is in our national intdrest will we maintain this
:13:06. > :13:10.He's leaving a dangerous political vacuum.
:13:11. > :13:13.Can I urge him to look at mtch broader arrangements
:13:14. > :13:17.to build a wider consensus, including to set up a joint
:13:18. > :13:19.committee of both houses of parliament, cross-party,

:13:25. > :13:26.the country in what the negotiations about our future Britain
:13:27. > :13:34.Now that withdrawal from the European Union
:13:35. > :13:37.is the policy of Her Majestx's government, can the Prime Mhnister
:13:38. > :13:40.confirm that some of the architects of the vote Leave campaign,
:13:41. > :13:42.not just the Europhile mand`rins, will be involved in the work

:14:29. > :14:30.who currently referendum will be right honourable member for Uxbridge
:14:31. > :14:34.who exploited it? The honourable member for Uxbridge
:14:35. > :14:37.and South Ruislip has said he wants to maintain the access

:14:45. > :15:02.not also have to accept fred I belatedly picked up the ldaflet
:15:03. > :15:05.this morning in my London flats which was the official leaflet of
:15:06. > :15:11.the league campaign which s`id the NHS could get a nature ?350 million
:15:12. > :15:14.a week as a result of the Ldader vote. The Prime Minister tell us
:15:15. > :15:23.when the NHS can expect to receive that money? I think obviously, until
:15:24. > :15:27.we leave the European Union, we will continue with our contributhons to
:15:28. > :15:29.the European Union and that at the moment, my successor will h`ve to
:15:30. > :15:30.explain where the money is going. David Cameron making
:15:31. > :15:32.a statement about the UK You're watching Monday
:15:33. > :15:35.in Parliament, Now back to Jeremy
:15:36. > :15:44.Corbyn's top team. Lady Smith, is set to boycott shadow
:15:45. > :15:48.cabinet meetings while But she says she will not rdsign
:15:49. > :15:54.because she was elected When Peers gave their responses
:15:55. > :15:59.to the referendum result, Lady Smith said the country
:16:00. > :16:01.was desperate for political leadership which was "sadly
:16:02. > :16:14.so lacking at present". The Prime Minister, who said he
:16:15. > :16:18.would see us through negoti`tions is resigning. The Chancellor w`s
:16:19. > :16:23.invisible for today and we face three more months of intern`l party
:16:24. > :16:27.warfare before there was a leader who will even attempt to seriously
:16:28. > :16:32.address this crisis. That is shameful. I am not make a cheap
:16:33. > :16:36.party political point, therd are serious issues here. I do not
:16:37. > :16:40.absolve my party leadership from this either. There is a serhous
:16:41. > :16:46.issue by the quality of the little leadership in our country as a
:16:47. > :16:50.whole. My party is also rivdn with internal political problems as a
:16:51. > :16:56.result of fallout from this result. Our country is crying out for
:16:57. > :17:03.strong, decent, decisive, c`ring and competent leadership from both
:17:04. > :17:07.Government and Opposition. H have a deep anxiety about the future holds
:17:08. > :17:11.for our country. I am worridd about the divisions that have been laid
:17:12. > :17:16.bare across the country durhng the course of this campaign that echo
:17:17. > :17:20.concerns expressed by the noble lady about the tone of much of the debate
:17:21. > :17:22.and the campaigning. I am fdarful about what this means for otr
:17:23. > :17:29.outward looking and tolerance country. I'm also fearful about the
:17:30. > :17:35.future integrity of the UK. Whatever the result of this referendtm and
:17:36. > :17:41.our decision to leave our Etropean union, this country has not given up
:17:42. > :17:45.on its values. We asked all the United Kingdom and our valuds and
:17:46. > :17:52.remain exactly as they were. And I would condemn anybody who used the
:17:53. > :17:57.result of this referendum as an opportunity to promote racism and if
:17:58. > :18:00.there is any evidence of th`t, we should all work together to stamp it
:18:01. > :18:04.out and I would certainly urge anybody who has experienced any kind
:18:05. > :18:10.of hate crime or racism to dnsure they alert the police to th`t
:18:11. > :18:19.straightaway. And know that they do so with every decent person who
:18:20. > :18:22.lives in this country's. . But will she broaden the thoughts rightly
:18:23. > :18:29.made in the statement about bringing the country together to include the
:18:30. > :18:33.need for the policies, the dconomic and foreign policies pursued by a
:18:34. > :18:39.country leaving the European Union, to be able to command the stpport of
:18:40. > :18:44.millions of people to Remain? And if that not going to be an essdntial
:18:45. > :18:49.attribute of a reform cabindt and of a new Prime Minister? I quite
:18:50. > :18:56.understand people complaining about this campaign. We are who wd are.
:18:57. > :19:02.The priority surely it should be to try and give some political
:19:03. > :19:08.stability and financial and other stability at a time when, for all
:19:09. > :19:12.personal qualities, it is obvious as regards Europe, that the prdsent
:19:13. > :19:14.Prime Minister and his opposite number of the dispatch box
:19:15. > :19:21.completely lacking in authority on that subject. There has been too
:19:22. > :19:26.much hyperbole and spike in this debate. One side at one and the
:19:27. > :19:31.result is clear, we have to act upon it, and those who advocated for
:19:32. > :19:37.Leave need to take the lead in the negotiations that will take place.
:19:38. > :19:43.But we urgently need the wise leadership that can build consensus
:19:44. > :19:45.and I think we need some sort of national Government, a kind of
:19:46. > :19:53.coalition of goodwill where we can work together. I served the dioceses
:19:54. > :20:01.of Chelmsford, which is East London... East London In an Essex
:20:02. > :20:06.Out. I was speaking to a he`dteacher yesterday who said the children came
:20:07. > :20:13.to school on Friday frightened and they'll think are increasing race
:20:14. > :20:17.aged and intolerance. As a linority of Lordship's House who warlly
:20:18. > :20:23.welcomes the decision the pdople are made in the referendum, may I also
:20:24. > :20:27.warmly welcome the statesmen - like statement of the Prime Minister
:20:28. > :20:33.today which my noble friend repeated. May I suggest also that
:20:34. > :20:40.the campaign is over and we are now in a new phase. That will bd no bad
:20:41. > :20:43.thing if the campaigning organisations on both sides, and I
:20:44. > :20:48.speak as somebody who took ` prominent part in one of thdm,
:20:49. > :20:52.should shut up shop. What h`s happened, and this was implhcit in
:20:53. > :20:55.the Prime Minister's speech, was that the people have spoken and it
:20:56. > :20:57.is now for the Government to implement wisely the decision of the
:20:58. > :20:58.people. It wasn't all about
:20:59. > :21:00.the EU referendum. The House of Lords debated
:21:01. > :21:02.controversial plans to give the police and security agencies
:21:03. > :21:05.greater powers to monitor mobile The government has already lade
:21:06. > :21:08.concessions on the Investig`tory Powers Bill, introducing
