Paul
Blomfield MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Brexit, speaking after a
Westminster Hall debate today on the UK’s future membership of Euratom, said:
“This
is yet another important debate that the Brexit department has dodged, instead
sending a Business Minister who was unable to provide any answers.
“The
former Chancellor has indicated that David Davis and Greg Clark were overruled
on continuing membership of Euratom by the Prime Minister. Reports from David
Davis’ former chief of staff suggested that this was because of the Prime
Minister’s absolutist and obsessional stance on the ECJ.
“There
is clear and strong cross-party concern about leaving Euratom. It is time for
David Davis to clarify if he is content to allow the Prime Minister’s reckless
red line, threatening jobs and cancer treatments, to stand.”
