We will not allow this paralysis to continue. And one way or another we must proceed straight to an election. So later on this evening the government will give notice of presentation for a short bill for an election on the 12th of December so that we can finally get Brexit done.
Yay.
And this is... there is no support in the House that we've heard earlier on from the benches opposite for the WAB to proceed. But Mr Speaker, this House cannot any longer keep this country hostage.
Now that no-deal is off the table, we have a great new deal. We have a great new deal. And it's time for the voters to have a chance to pronounce on that deal...
Here here!
...and to replace this dysfunctional parliament with a new parliament that can get Brexit done so the country can move on.
Yea.
Here here.
Mr Jeremy Corbyn.
Yea.
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I understand... I understand a bill will be tabled tomorrow. We will obviously look and scrutinise that bill. And we look forward to a clear, definitive decision that no-deal is absolutely off the table and there is no danger of this prime minister not sticking to his word, because he has some form on these matters, and taking this country out of the EU without any deal whatsoever knowing the damage it will do to jobs and industries all across this country.
Thank you, Mr Speaker. I'm most grateful. It is clear that there is a desire on the opposition benches to bring forward a bill that can give us an election. But Mr Speaker, we don't trust this prime minister.
And we don't trust this prime minister for good reason.
So the prime minister, if he is going to bring forward a bill, must give a absolute cast-iron assurance that up until the passage of that bill and the rising of parliament, that there will be no attempt to bring forward the withdrawal agreement bill. And, of course, the SNP will do its job and scrutinise any bill that comes forward.
