Hello there, and welcome to Thursday in Parliament.

:00:11.:00:12.

Should the foreign office have had a plan

:00:13.:00:17.

in the event of the UK voting to leave the EU?

:00:18.:00:21.

A committee of MPs certainly thinks so.

:00:22.:00:26.

Don't you think at an offichal level you should have been carrying out

:00:27.:00:29.

some kind of preparation? In the Lords, there's a call

:00:30.:00:31.

for a second referendum It does sometimes taken in ly better

:00:32.:00:46.

way, Mr Speaker, shocked my family and reduce me to tears, the

:00:47.:00:50.

vitriolic and criminal levels of personal abuse and I and colleagues

:00:51.:00:52.

across this house have faced. Philip Hammond, for a lack

:00:53.:00:54.

of contingency planning to deal with a Leave vote

:00:55.:00:58.

in the EU referendum. The UK voted by 52%

:00:59.:01:01.

to 48% to leave the EU, a result that had not been predicted

:01:02.:01:03.

by many politicians, In the fortnight since,

:01:04.:01:06.

financial markets have tumbled and the pound has reached a new low

:01:07.:01:10.

against other currencies. Appearing before the committee

:01:11.:01:15.

which scrutinises his department, the foreign secretary was asked

:01:16.:01:18.

if his office had been This committee, in its report on the

:01:19.:01:32.

implications of the referendum, in April, were pointing out th`t there

:01:33.:01:38.

would be immediate challengds for the office. And yet, the office

:01:39.:01:44.

appears to have sat there whth the political instruction to do nothing.

:01:45.:01:52.

Mr German throughout the referendum campaign, I drew attention, as did

:01:53.:01:58.

others in the campaign to lhkely consequences of a leave votd, and

:01:59.:02:03.

the reaction that I heard w`s that this was scaremongering. Don't you

:02:04.:02:06.

think at an official level xou should have been carrying ott some

:02:07.:02:08.

kind of preparation within the department? The civil service,

:02:09.:02:14.

including the dramatic servhce, works to the government of the DUP.

:02:15.:02:20.

Gentleman I can assure you ht was not an oversight -- 's Mr Gdrman I

:02:21.:02:26.

can assure you was not an oversight. We discussed whether there should be

:02:27.:02:30.

contingency planning, and concluded it was not appropriate to continue

:02:31.:02:34.

planning continues these other than planning focused on the verx

:02:35.:02:37.

immediate pressures that might come on the gradual markets.

:02:38.:02:39.

The committee moved on to whether the department

:02:40.:02:41.

It is the view of this commhttee there is going to need to bd a step

:02:42.:02:50.

change in the office of the budget, doubling or tripling it to deal with

:02:51.:02:57.

the challenge of dealing with the EU and the advancement of all the

:02:58.:03:02.

opportunities that will fit the United Kingdom outside the Duropean

:03:03.:03:05.

Union. What are you doing about bidding for extra resources for the

:03:06.:03:09.

office, and what is your sense of the scale at which the office would

:03:10.:03:13.

need to be stepped up to actually really take advantage of thd

:03:14.:03:18.

situation that the office is now presented with?

:03:19.:03:19.

But the minister didn't think there was a prospect of mord money.

:03:20.:03:23.

I think our economy will face a difficult period, at least hn the

:03:24.:03:31.

during which government revdnues are likely to fall, and we will face

:03:32.:03:36.

significant constraints. I do not think it is remotely realistic to

:03:37.:03:42.

talk about... To talk about budget doubling. The budget of the Foreign

:03:43.:03:46.

Office is a minute proportion of overall government expendittre. It

:03:47.:03:48.

is your view that the Foreign Office should continue to suffer that level

:03:49.:03:52.

of austerity, despite the f`ct that our diplomatic position and role in

:03:53.:03:56.

the world has completely ch`nged, and the scale of the challenge

:03:57.:04:00.

facing the United Kingdom democratically has just gond off the

:04:01.:04:04.

cell? We may indeed need to bid for additional resources, to de`l with

:04:05.:04:08.

the specific pressures around us. What I'm saying to the commhttee

:04:09.:04:13.

that I don't think, if the dconomic and fiscal circumstances th`t the

:04:14.:04:16.

country is like to face, ovdr the coming few years, that talk of

:04:17.:04:20.

doubling or trebling departlental budgets is remotely realisthc.

:04:21.:04:22.

So when did Philip Hammond think the UK would begin

:04:23.:04:24.

the official withdrawal process known as article 50?

:04:25.:04:29.

My judgment is that it would not be in the best interest of the UK to

:04:30.:04:37.

trigger article 50 immediatdly, article 50 set the clock ticking.

:04:38.:04:43.

And I don't think that at the moment, for various reasons, not

:04:44.:04:47.

least of which, we don't have a new Prime Minister in post, for the

:04:48.:04:52.

moment, we are not in a poshtion to begin that negotiation immediately,

:04:53.:04:59.

and therefore it would be unwise to start the process ticking bx

:05:00.:05:02.

triggering article 50 full stop although the Brussels institutions

:05:03.:05:07.

may not like that coming in conversations, bilateral

:05:08.:05:11.

conversations, I detect a considerable understanding of our

:05:12.:05:12.

position amongst our EU partners. What about the rights of EU

:05:13.:05:14.

citizens living in the UK? I would like to see us being able to

:05:15.:05:24.

reach an early solution that gives reassurance to those people, but I

:05:25.:05:29.

would not recommend a unilateral commitment by the British Government

:05:30.:05:35.

before we received any assurance about a reciprocal approach to the

:05:36.:05:40.

position of UK nationals in other European Union countries. It sounds

:05:41.:05:46.

awful lot like people were right to live and work, people who h`ve made

:05:47.:05:49.

their families and lives thdre, they are part of your negotiating

:05:50.:05:56.

process. I voted remain. I voted remain too. I wanted to continue

:05:57.:06:00.

that. Are you saying that your saying your rights are part of the

:06:01.:06:07.

negotiating process? So long as the part of the EU those rights are

:06:08.:06:10.

guaranteed as of right by the terms of an ownership of the U. As we

:06:11.:06:19.

cease to be a member, the rhghts of our citizens, and the citizdns of

:06:20.:06:23.

other countries to live, to work, to establish, to invest in bushnesses,

:06:24.:06:25.

to own property, we'll all have to be agreed. I believe they should be

:06:26.:06:31.

agreed on a fully reciprocal basis, and I hope they will be, and I

:06:32.:06:33.

expect they will be. MPs have been sharing some `ppalling

:06:34.:06:35.

examples of abuse they and their constituents have

:06:36.:06:38.

encountered from people on social media sites such

:06:39.:06:39.

as Facebook and Twitter. The Commons was debating how to deal

:06:40.:06:42.

with the bullies who use the anonymity available onlhne

:06:43.:06:45.

to hurl abuse and make thre`ts. One MP described how she'd been

:06:46.:06:49.

reduced to tears I came here with the full knowledge

:06:50.:07:01.

and expectation that my words and actions would be held up to public

:07:02.:07:07.

scrutiny, and that is right. But it has sometimes taken my breath away,

:07:08.:07:09.

though, Madam Deputy Speaker. What has sometimes taken my breath

:07:10.:07:12.

away, shocked my family, and reduced me to tears,

:07:13.:07:14.

is the vitriolic, hateful, and sometimes criminal levels

:07:15.:07:16.

of personal abuse that I and colleagues across the House

:07:17.:07:18.

have faced. But the greatest tragedy of this new

:07:19.:07:23.

technology fall has been thd advancement in online bullyhng

:07:24.:07:28.

abuse, and threats, and I know this horrific experience is not just

:07:29.:07:32.

confined to those buzz across this chamber, so I want to save directly

:07:33.:07:36.

to those watching from outshde Parliament who have been victims of

:07:37.:07:40.

online abuse, from all of us here today, that we stand right beside

:07:41.:07:43.

you, because we know how it feels. We understand the pain you've been

:07:44.:07:48.

through, and you can guarantee that we will do our best to addrdss this

:07:49.:07:52.

list you. For the past 14 months I've been called and receivd

:07:53.:07:56.

messages calling for immedi`te shot as a traitor, strangers havd

:07:57.:08:02.

attacked my father. This debate today is about enabling Parliament

:08:03.:08:06.

to send a clear message to the industry, to social media and do

:08:07.:08:10.

online worlds to say enough is enough. I think we need to be clear

:08:11.:08:15.

to online providers, in our country, that if they fail to take sdnsible

:08:16.:08:21.

measures to reduce online abuse that we ever Parliament shotld be

:08:22.:08:25.

considering putting in placd a levy to cover the costs of polichng that

:08:26.:08:29.

are being incurred purely as a result of online abuse and crimes.

:08:30.:08:35.

This is something done in other areas and I think here about the

:08:36.:08:40.

payments made by football tdams to have policing football stadhum full

:08:41.:08:45.

stop this is nothing new idda, but certainly an idea that my

:08:46.:08:47.

concentrates the mind when ht comes to online abuse in future. Lany

:08:48.:08:53.

members have a spirit of thhs online, nothing that is affdcted me

:08:54.:08:56.

terribly, but on one occasion which I simply posted online some comments

:08:57.:09:02.

about some boy racers causing anti-social behaviour, withhn about

:09:03.:09:06.

one hour I was being abused from all round the globe by boy racers who

:09:07.:09:10.

had obviously noticed I defhcit in my sex life and were offering a wide

:09:11.:09:17.

range... Of suggestions to hmprove this, some of this would actually

:09:18.:09:23.

end in certain death. I had to take the post down not because I was

:09:24.:09:26.

personally offended all concerned, but because I could simply not

:09:27.:09:30.

monitor it that the level of foul language of abuse left on mx

:09:31.:09:33.

Facebook page was for everyone to see.

:09:34.:09:36.

I vividly recall my daughter's transition to secondary school when

:09:37.:09:47.

her head teacher got parents together to talk about the perils of

:09:48.:09:51.

Facebook will do at that tile social media was growing in popularity but

:09:52.:09:53.

was still is small, not the multitude of platforms that there

:09:54.:09:57.

are today. And the phrase that you use which will always stick with me,

:09:58.:10:01.

is that to be quite frank, children are losing the ability to elpathise,

:10:02.:10:06.

because, in her view, there were making their unpleasant comlents

:10:07.:10:09.

online, and unlike in the playground, when you do it on your

:10:10.:10:17.

smartphone, use and you don't see the reaction on somebody's phase, so

:10:18.:10:20.

you will not learn about thd hurt, you simply bang out a message which

:10:21.:10:24.

can have a terrible impact, but that ability to understand, comprehends

:10:25.:10:26.

the hurt you have caused, is disappearing. My issues with

:10:27.:10:29.

particular reference to Twitter and Facebook are the apparent l`ck of a

:10:30.:10:32.

coherent policy on what acttally constitutes online abuse. I would

:10:33.:10:37.

like to give a few examples. Twitter policy states: and I quote: we do

:10:38.:10:45.

not tolerate behaviour crossing the line into abuse, including behaviour

:10:46.:10:51.

that harasses, intimidates, or uses fear to silence and other user's

:10:52.:10:57.

voice. So, with this in mind, when I received a threat on Twitter during

:10:58.:11:02.

the referendum debate, saying, and I quote: we'll see what you s`y when

:11:03.:11:06.

an immigrant rates you or one of your kids. I reported it to Twitter

:11:07.:11:15.

using their online pro form`. Surely this racist, violent and targeted

:11:16.:11:19.

abuse crossed that line into behaviour that harasses and

:11:20.:11:23.

intimidates, which pretty policy claims to be against. But no, the

:11:24.:11:30.

response I received from twhtter was: it's not currently violently --

:11:31.:11:33.

violating the twitter rules. The Minister said social media

:11:34.:11:34.

platforms had to work In terms of the online world will

:11:35.:11:43.

suddenly have these companids which in many respects are bigger and more

:11:44.:11:48.

influential than many nation states. I mean, Facebook has a population of

:11:49.:11:53.

1.2 billion. That has a poptlation of 300 million. And yes, thdy are to

:11:54.:11:58.

a certain extent left to thdir own devices, to create their own rules,

:11:59.:12:00.

their own society and regul`tion. You're watching Thursday in

:12:01.:12:02.

Parliament with me, Alicia LcCarthy Let's go back to the impact

:12:03.:12:13.

of the UK's vote to leave the EU. In the Lords, peers were worried

:12:14.:12:16.

about what it might Specifically they wanted to know

:12:17.:12:18.

about the impact on millions of pounds of research funding under

:12:19.:12:22.

a scheme called Horizon 2020 and the possible consequencds

:12:23.:12:24.

for a project known as Eraslus, which enables the exchange of EU

:12:25.:12:27.

students between nations. The referendum result has no

:12:28.:12:34.

immediate effect on the right of researchers to apply and participate

:12:35.:12:38.

in Horizon 2020 nor on thosd currently participating

:12:39.:12:41.

in or about to embark The future of UK access

:12:42.:12:42.

to European research and innovation funding

:12:43.:12:48.

and to the Erasmus programme will be

:12:49.:12:49.

part of wider discussions whth Is she aware that in spite

:12:50.:12:53.

of similar reassurances givdn by ministers of state for univdrsities

:12:54.:13:09.

and science in the other pl`ce that there is already anecdotal dvidence

:13:10.:13:12.

of researchers being asked to stand down from European programmds

:13:13.:13:15.

particularly when they are lead It was particularly

:13:16.:13:17.

difficult for those Is the Minister aware of thdse

:13:18.:13:31.

difficulties that are likely to arise and how the Swiss

:13:32.:13:51.

example means that associatd status, unless we keep freedom of movement,

:13:52.:13:54.

would be of no value? The Vice Chancellor

:13:55.:13:57.

of Ruskin tells me as I understand it that they are doing

:13:58.:13:59.

important research with a University in Portugal

:14:00.:14:01.

on earthquake studies. Perhaps an analogy that

:14:02.:14:03.

is This funding, this

:14:04.:14:04.

research could be in jeopardy and so I would ask the

:14:05.:14:07.

Minister to give us some assurance of the attention of the soft power

:14:08.:14:10.

and soft diplomacy that needs to be sustained into the future

:14:11.:14:18.

and how such research importance to vulnerable

:14:19.:14:26.

communities, is going to be sustained into

:14:27.:14:29.

the Of course the Government and I

:14:30.:14:31.

entirely understand the concerns We have a world class higher

:14:32.:14:35.

education sector and we want to support it and make sure that

:14:36.:14:45.

going forward it is able to still be taking its position as the best

:14:46.:14:49.

in the world and that is whx with the sector throughout the

:14:50.:14:52.

coming months and years in order to make sure we provide the support

:14:53.:14:56.

that their voice is heard and that we can try and do all we can to make

:14:57.:14:59.

sure that we maintain the Lady Evans Staying in the Lords

:15:00.:15:03.

a Labour peer called for a second Lady King, formerly the Labour MP,

:15:04.:15:10.

Oona King, said she didn't want that vote now, but once the UK h`d

:15:11.:15:14.

negotiated the terms of It is fair to say that most people

:15:15.:15:17.

did not realise that the EU referendum and a Brexit votd

:15:18.:15:21.

would trigger the chain of dvents We have got our economy in crisis,

:15:22.:15:24.

major companies lining up at this moment right here right

:15:25.:15:31.

now to leave Britain. We have got jobs moving out

:15:32.:15:34.

right here right now. People does not realise those

:15:35.:15:37.

consequences and I think thd main thing is they did not know

:15:38.:15:48.

because the architects of their campaign themselves did not

:15:49.:15:50.

know what the final deal In the interests of democracy

:15:51.:15:53.

the British people must be given the chance to vote on a deal

:15:54.:15:57.

to leave the EU once we finally know what that ddal

:15:58.:16:00.

is and what that deal costs. In terms of our economy,

:16:01.:16:03.

our costs, our pensions, our future, our influence,

:16:04.:16:05.

our geographical borders and last but not least our precious hdentity

:16:06.:16:07.

as a tolerant open facing n`tion. The only way that we can

:16:08.:16:10.

have a second bite at this cherry is to have a political partx

:16:11.:16:21.

with its main manifesto comlitment not to break with the EU and test

:16:22.:16:24.

that at a general election. I am something of an expert

:16:25.:16:27.

on losing elections. And I know the feeling having fought

:16:28.:16:29.

eight general elections, won four, lost four,

:16:30.:16:35.

the feelings you go When you lose your opponent lied,

:16:36.:16:37.

your opponent made promises he could not

:16:38.:16:43.

possibly keep. Probably you opponent had more money

:16:44.:16:59.

than you and the place were on the side of your opponent.

:17:00.:17:01.

I have to say it was a triulph for British democracy.

:17:02.:17:05.

I simply say to the House, particularly I say to this House,

:17:06.:17:09.

this is essentially an advisory House.

:17:10.:17:11.

The public is not an advisory public.

:17:12.:17:14.

And for this House, particularly as I said to my friends at the other

:17:15.:17:25.

end, amongst whom there is no appetite for a referendum

:17:26.:17:30.

whatsoever, but I do say to my friends in this House,

:17:31.:17:35.

it is not our job to thwart the will of the British people.

:17:36.:17:39.

I can't believe that people want another one.

:17:40.:17:43.

The British people were not deceived.

:17:44.:17:45.

We should not just scorn the decision.

:17:46.:18:06.

We should not deride the re`sons they did it for.

:18:07.:18:09.

We should accept what they said and get on with being

:18:10.:18:11.

At the end of the formal negotiations there will

:18:12.:18:31.

But that will surely requird further authorisation

:18:32.:18:37.

whether popular, parliament`ry, or more probably both.

:18:38.:18:39.

But today is not the day for that debate.

:18:40.:18:41.

Let us have negotiations, a full negotiation package, and put

:18:42.:18:43.

My concern then is if the ptblic said they did not agree

:18:44.:18:47.

with that there would be an attempt to rerun and rerun and rerun.

:18:48.:18:50.

There is this issue we have to be worried about.

:18:51.:18:53.

As politicians we must re-engage with the public.

:18:54.:18:55.

They have shown that they h`ve got distrust in the political elite

:18:56.:19:04.

We can increase that distrust if we say to people keep on voting

:19:05.:19:07.

I know what is not what the noble lady wants.

:19:08.:19:12.

Back in the Commons, the new Shadow Environment Secretary

:19:13.:19:15.

Rachael Maskell raised the importance of EU migrant

:19:16.:19:17.

How will the Secretary of State ensure our crops

:19:18.:19:26.

are harvested in this uncertain period through securing

:19:27.:19:28.

I thank the honourable lady for her question and I welcome her

:19:29.:19:33.

She was a fantastic advocatd for her constituents during the very

:19:34.:19:37.

I look forward to working with her very much.

:19:38.:19:42.

In terms of the issue of agricultural workers,

:19:43.:19:55.

my constituency is a great producer of salad vegetables, onions.

:19:56.:19:57.

I understand the importance of those workers to our

:19:58.:20:00.

It will be one of the key things we are working on at Defra,

:20:01.:20:04.

and putting the case across Government to make

:20:05.:20:06.

sure we continue to have that supply of workers.

:20:07.:20:08.

Mr Speaker, it is evident in the responses from the Government

:20:09.:20:11.

that her department has not made contingency plans for a Leave vote.

:20:12.:20:15.

Failing in its duty in government to not only fully protect one

:20:16.:20:18.

of our major industries but also those who work on it.

:20:19.:20:21.

In the light of this can shd now say what actions she has taken

:20:22.:20:24.

to confirm that all EU citizens working in farming can remahn

:20:25.:20:27.

in the EU as yesterday's vote called for and that she has

:20:28.:20:30.

already made representation to the Home Office on this?

:20:31.:20:36.

It is absolutely clear that whilst we remain members of the EU

:20:37.:20:39.

Those workers will continue to work in those areas.

:20:40.:20:45.

But the reality is that I cannot make decisions

:20:46.:20:47.

Scotland's food and drink industry exports ?725 million worth

:20:48.:20:57.

Given the disastrous Brexit vote what impact does the Ministdr

:20:58.:21:02.

believe any restrictions on seasonal workforce will have on the hndustry

:21:03.:21:04.

I thank the honourable gentleman for his question.

:21:05.:21:14.

That is why we are turbo-ch`rging the work of the Great British Food

:21:15.:21:17.

Unit to make sure that we open up new markets and get more

:21:18.:21:20.

of our products out into thd world as well as the European Union.

:21:21.:21:25.

And I am very clear that agriculture and food has got major export

:21:26.:21:30.

potential and that is why I am having a meeting today

:21:31.:21:34.

with the Business Secretary to talk about our trade negotiations

:21:35.:21:37.

and making sure that food is a very key part of those.

:21:38.:21:47.

I congratulate my honourabld friend for the energy and enthusiasm

:21:48.:21:49.

and intelligence he brought to the Leave campaign.

:21:50.:21:55.

Having met farmers in my constituency in Kettering bdfore

:21:56.:21:57.

the vote it was clear that the senior leadership

:21:58.:21:59.

of the National Farmers' Unhon had signed up to Project Fear

:22:00.:22:02.

and was trying to scare farmers and rural dwellers

:22:03.:22:05.

Now that the result has been decided, and overwhelmingly

:22:06.:22:10.

in Kettering they have voted to leave, can we make sure that

:22:11.:22:20.

everyone involved in rural communities and farming talks up

:22:21.:22:24.

the rural communities and f`rming because we have got a very

:22:25.:22:26.

I thank the honourable gentleman for his kind comments

:22:27.:22:30.

although I think it is important now that the debate has concluded

:22:31.:22:36.

and the decision of the country is made that we move on and focus

:22:37.:22:39.

on next steps and focus on the future.

:22:40.:22:44.

This week I have been at the livestock event alre`dy

:22:45.:22:47.

I have had meetings with many farmers and what I have found

:22:48.:22:54.

you get past initial shock of this decision for some and they hndeed

:22:55.:22:58.

in the detail of what might be possible in the future actu`lly

:22:59.:23:01.

people become more excited about the potential for us

:23:02.:23:04.

The final two in the Conservative leadership contest have been

:23:05.:23:08.

revealed The Home Secretary Theresa May will face the Energy Minister,

:23:09.:23:11.

Andrea Leadsom in the run-off - after the justice secretary

:23:12.:23:13.

Michael Gove was eliminated from the contest.

:23:14.:23:15.

On Wednesday Westminster had heard the unguarded opinions of two senior

:23:16.:23:18.

Conservatives who were chatting in a Sky News TV studio.

:23:19.:23:20.

Talking to Sir Malcolm Rifkhnd, veteran Tory MP, Ken Clarke

:23:21.:23:23.

described the Home Secretarx, Theresa May, as a bloody difficult

:23:24.:23:28.

woman, suggested Andrea Leadsom didn't really want to leave the EU,

:23:29.:23:31.

His comments were picked up by the Shadow leader of the Commons,

:23:32.:23:38.

who paid tribute to Ken Clarke the MP for Rushcliffe

:23:39.:23:40.

The House is grateful as evdr to the member for Rushcliffd

:23:41.:23:48.

who is a rarity on the Government backbenches as a man

:23:49.:23:51.

who is occasionally caught in possession of an intelligent

:23:52.:23:56.

thought and who speaks real English, at least the kind of language

:23:57.:23:59.

But this week we were very grateful to him for giving us the vital

:24:00.:24:09.

intelligence that the three remaining candidates

:24:10.:24:11.

for the leadership of the Tory party, that one of them was bloody

:24:12.:24:14.

difficult, and one does not expect to deliver on the extremely stupid

:24:15.:24:17.

things she has been saying, and one would declare war

:24:18.:24:19.

Mr Flynn suggested that as the new leader was going

:24:20.:24:33.

to become Prime Minister there should be a vote open

:24:34.:24:35.

to those who weren't members of the Conservative party.

:24:36.:24:39.

It would be wonderful if we could have the chance

:24:40.:24:42.

of having a write in candid`te who would certainly be someone

:24:43.:24:44.

like the member for Rushcliffe, who happily at his time of life has

:24:45.:24:47.

passed beyond the stages of ambition and vanity that afflict

:24:48.:24:50.

Could I perhaps suggest to him if the member for Rushcliffd is

:24:51.:24:54.

reluctant because he is of ` certain age of returning to the dispatch

:24:55.:24:57.

box, may I remind him what I have discovered,

:24:58.:24:59.

that the dispatch box is a vital support and a wonderful

:25:00.:25:02.

But the leader of the Commons thought he detected

:25:03.:25:10.

I suspect that the Home Secretary will not be impressed at behng

:25:11.:25:21.

Can I also say I understand his enthusiasm for taking part hn this

:25:22.:25:25.

election campaign for being able to express a view on who our next

:25:26.:25:28.

If I was on their benches I would want to take part

:25:29.:25:32.

in our leadership contest as well because try as they may,

:25:33.:25:34.

however hard they struggle, they just don't seem to be `ble

:25:35.:25:37.

And that's it for now, but do join me again on Friday night

:25:38.:25:42.

at 11 for a full round up of another busy week here at Westminstdr.

:25:43.:25:46.

Including the continuing fall-out from the EU referendum and reaction

:25:47.:25:49.
