Brexiteer and St Albans MP at the time Anne Main, addressed the House of Commons, stating, “I think it behoves us all, whichever side of the argument we were on, to recognise that, overwhelmingly, the country voted to proceed with its decision to leave the European Union.”
She emphasised the need for parliamentarians to scrutinize legislation closely, asserting, “If we don’t play political games with Brexit then I am confident that we can get the best possible outcome for our country.”
Meanwhile, Harpenden MP and Remain voter, Bim Afolami, highlighted the importance of government input from businesses, saying, “I am keen to hear from as wide a variety of voices as possible.”
The discussions also touched on the contentious issues surrounding the final Brexit deal and the potential retention of EU benefits.
