5:05 pm
to agree an alternative to theresa may‘s withdrawal involve the uk participating agreement last night. in the european elections. we want to avoid a rolling extension. so any extension must have a clear purpose and a clear plan. that was the result of the series of votes last night. with me is bronwen ina in a moment we'll talk to ben maddox of the institute for wright, who is in downing street keeping a night on the cabinet government, once again we meet to goings—on. first to brussels and try to make sense of what is going on. they met for how long today, the damian grammaticas. that was cabinet? we understand they met at interesting, the summit in paris. open to any proposals, wanting to nine, the cars were being called at assist the prime minister. what does 4:45pm, so nearly eight hours of that translate into? into please talks, almost three times the normal bring us a plan, if you want to length of such a meeting. was that avoid a no deal at the end of next split into the political cabinet and week, or pass the plan that's on the in formal cabinet? we believe it was, but what is becoming clear is table. that's the eu's preference. if not i think a strong signal there that it was, but what is becoming clear is thatitis was, but what is becoming clear is that it is not working like a that the eu is open, as those conventional cabinet anymore, we have heard reports of ministers going in to make their position, not leaders were saying, to the uk really trying to reach a collective bringing something but mr macron qualified it. he said it has to be a decision in the old way, and as we know, coming out and creeping people plan that has the backing of a majority in the uk. that is really and so on. what is interesting
5:06 pm
today, if the prime minister said something after this, what she says important for the french. mr macron also had a sort of warning with about bringing her deal to parliament for a fourth time, what that, saying if the uk cannot she says about asking europe for an present a credible plan, three years extension, we have had some words after the referendum, then he said from europe today, as you were de facto the uk would have chosen no referring to, and we are really looking in those two spaces as to deal and he said we could not what is going to happen. so let's prevent failure on their side. both talk about the possibility of an that slightly tougher message but extension housed, because there was also the one that the eu stands an intriguing line from the french ready to try to find a solution but president and the taoiseach earlier, all of the decisions now have to saying it would need to have come initially from the uk side. conditions attached, what are they talking about? well, as things stand all of the decisions now have to come initially from the uk sidelj suppose, i mean there must be a view about where the ideal kind of area on paper, we are due to leave for compromise is. we've talked without a deal on april the 12th, and what they are talking about for about this before, not in terms of and what they are talking about for an extension is, first of all, if it reopening the withdrawal agreement isa an extension is, first of all, if it is a long extension, we have to take about what's in the political declaration. from your point of pa rt is a long extension, we have to take part in the european parliament view, what would be the easiest road elections, and that is because otherwise all kinds of decisions of to some sort of compromise as far as the eu become invalid, they are open the eu is concerned? the easiest to legal challenge, so they really ca re to legal challenge, so they really care about that. they will then want road is the withdrawal agreement, as some kind of plan, you know, how to
5:07 pm
it stands on the table. the next easiest, if that can't get through go forward. could that be a general election, a second referendum, the commons still, is for the eu something as slight as a conservative leadership contest? side, i think they would say it is this customs union —type approach. theresa may saying, look, i have a that's already indicated in the way to break the deadlock, this is withdrawal agreement. it is an easy what it looks like, could it be more time to discuss whatever parliament enough one, i would think, for them coalesces around if it manages to? ami to write into the political document coalesces around if it manages to? am i such as a customs union? yes, about future ties and to promise to all of that, but they are aware of work towards. what it does is open how difficult things are in british quite a lot of questions and is politics, but they really don‘t want politically difficult on the uk a no—deal, even though hearts are side. what i think is very, very hardening on this, they are very aware of people referring to the difficult for the eu is if theresa may came forward asking for an taoiseach, the problems it would extension, saying she was prepared present for ireland in how you seal to meet the minimum condition, to ta ke the border, because ireland would to meet the minimum condition, to take part in european elections, but have to do that. you mentioned the without much of a plan beyond that. possibility that mrs may i try to bring back a form of her deal. the eu would struggle with that possibility that mrs may i try to bring back a form of her deallj because some would be inclined to think that is very likely, if she avoid no deal, to help, but others possibly can, and this time her leverages really to say to brexiteer like mr macron saying you need a plan if you want us to a degree ——
5:08 pm
mps, look, it is my deal or a long extension. and i don‘t want that, to agree to an extension. our because they fear that it might mean that brexit never happens. on the correspondence ben wright is in other hand, they have got the scent downing street. no sign of the meeting ending? no, the marathon of victory, as they see it, in their noses, if you like, that maybe they cabinet meeting continues. they canjust conspire assembled at 9:30am. here we are noses, if you like, that maybe they can just conspire to frustrate the more than seven hours later and they process and we end up with no—deal. are still talking. they have an by process and we end up with no—deal. by preventing anything else happening, i wouldn‘t call it enormous amount to discuss. this feels like a crunch cabinet with accident. i am just thinking that, seismic choices in front of them. as just in terms of looking at the damien was explaining, the 12th of numbers, lots of these are mps who april is the deadline now. it is have simply said all along that the clear that the uk would like an steel is not acceptable in any kind extension that may involve european of level, so i am just wondering elections. if that is granted the what would give the prime minister prime minister must go to eu leaders with a plan for how she plans to help, even by presenting them with such a stark choice, what would give sort out the mess. so far the her hope they would back down on response of downing street has been that? you have got brexiteer mps that the prime minister's deal must who, as a point of principle, have be passed, which can enable an said they can never support this orderly brexit. but there is little deal. i am not sure hope would come chance of that happening, even if to herfrom they have another go in the commons. deal. i am not sure hope would come to her from that quarter, but there
5:09 pm
we re to her from that quarter, but there therefore she and the cabinet must were more abstentions last time, so confront difficult choices about she is looking to that, to some of what they are going to do. are they the labour people who might come going to try and soften the over. but you know, this is very withdrawal deal to find cross—party difficult territory, except that the one thing that parliament has been support? is she going to plan a clear about is that a majority does referendum to sort it out? downing street say absolutely not. might she not want no—deal. clear about is that a majority does not want no-deal. on the issue of roll the dice with an election to the indicative roads, we had a series of them last night with no try and shake up the numbers in the conclusion, but one on the customs commons? all the while the cabinet union was almost there. talk to us a is divided. some ministers say no little bit about that process, in the context of the bill that is deal has to be avoided at all costs and others, on the brexit wing of the cabinet, feel that may be an being presented to parliament, meant to instruct the prime minister to option worth going for. we're going seek an extension of article 50. where is the process taking us? to back to you. the former well, you know, it becomes even harder as a stand—off between conservative mp nick boles, who parliament and the executive, as resigned from the tory party because he said it was depressing trying to they call the government, if mps really go ahead and say, look, we are going to bring legislation to find compromise with former party tell you that you have to do this thing, seek an extension, so we will collea g u es find compromise with former party colleagues on brexit, has been talking to laura kuenssberg about have to see where that gets to,
5:10 pm
his reasons for leaving the party, yvette cooper is one of those on the and he had some critical things to labour side who are exploring that say about some former colleagues. road, telling the prime minister, you have to go and do this. it still gives her quite a... yes, they can i found myself looking around the commons and seeing the party that oblige you to do that, but it gives was least willing to compromise, the her still a very difficult political problem with the cabinet, which she least willing to follow through on has been meeting with for eight commitments, and i mean real hours. we will see what is said in commitments, and i mean real commitments that were made, was my the next hour or so, thank you very own party, my own colleagues. and i much, bronwen maddox, director of the institute for government, thank guess that was when it snapped and i you for coming in today. now, let‘s just thought, you know, i can't talk about education for a second. parents across england could soon be required to put pretend any more. their child‘s name on a new register if they are being educated at home. nick boles, the former conservative ministers say a register would help councils intervene minister and former conservative mp, when standards were poor or if children were at risk. now sitting as an independent. we but some parents believe a list would be an unwanted know that nick boles is angry and intrusion into their lives. frankie mccamley reports. disaffected and disappointed but there was a force behind some of right now, if you don‘t that criticism. it was strong and want to put your child into mainstream school, or pull them out of it, emotional. he has really lived this there is no obligation to register them with your local authority, internal war in the tory party for a
5:11 pm
which means it‘s not clear long time. he was deselected as a how many children are not in school in england. tory candidate in his grantham constituency. he came back to the many children leave school — commons saying he wanted to continue for reasons including a lack of support for special needs, to ta ke commons saying he wanted to continue to take the conservative whip and religious beliefs, was welcomed back by cabinet or purely out of choice. it is important to know collea g u es was welcomed back by cabinet where they are, who they are, colleagues but he felt that how the because of course very many of those children have the benefit plan he had been pushing, the common of a fantastic home education by parents who often have given up a lot to do that and put market 2.0 idea had been stymied and their all into the education, and it‘s a great schooling hadn't attracted support from within for those children. but then, of course, his party and number ten as it there are some children who don‘t have that benefit. should have done. certainly the backers of that plan felt there was a tacit webbing operation by the tories against it yesterday even the reality is some are falling through the gaps, though there was meant to be a free receiving poor quality education. vote —— tacit whipping. he was at so the government is proposing a register for all children not the end of his tether. he feels that being educated in schools. the end of his tether. he feels that the erg are a party within the party the aim is to identify those at risk of harm, and causing the tories real harm. it help spot young people isa and causing the tories real harm. it is a view one hears a lot from attending unregistered schools, and those not receiving conservative mps including those an education at all. like nick boles who, while under the plans, remainers, they have concerns about it will be parents‘ responsibility to register their child, but some question whether those
5:12 pm
who don‘t have a good relationship brexiters brexit, but they are with the authorities will come forward. voting for the prime minister's deal and they are angry with some of the rhian joy educates her two tory brexiteers who continue to sons with special needs oppose it and wrote it down. it felt and thinks the plans are a backwards step. that the commons indicative vote process had run out of steam. indeed why should i have to sign a register it will continue. the fact that nick and have someone come into my home boles is pushing common market 2.0 is likely to get another airing in and question the education the commons next monday. as well as that i‘m providing for my child? the commons next monday. as well as the attempt by yvette cooper and will they have any knowledge on special needs? knowledge of his background, oliver letwin to force changes to of what he‘s gone through? the fact that he has no trust the process it seems that an for people at all any more? amendment is going to be paved that the government is also will pave the way for further looking at ways to help home—educated children, including money towards exams, indicative votes including nick as it tries to find a balance boles‘s idea, next monday in the between supporting families and protecting vulnerable children. commons. this attempt to get a bill through the commons in very quick time, in order to come as you say, instruct the prior minister to extend article 50. how much concern is that causing in downing street? it will cause a lot and it will be the time is 5:44pm, and add very
5:13 pm
framing the discussions they are long cabinet meeting came to an end having here as they try and game and about half an hour ago, let‘s find work out the next few days. this is out what is going on with ben a pretty extraordinary wright, our political correspondent, constitutional step that the commons any sign of people coming out yet? plans to take, using the time they have secured to push through a bill, no, not yet, downing street is rammed with black ministerial cars very short, one clause, high—speed, and drivers waiting for their through both houses of parliament, occu pa nts to and drivers waiting for their occupants to come out of number ten, getting the power to instruct the but they are still in there, and prime minister to ask the european people are texting cabinet ministers, those who have been and union for an extension. we can't are getting no response, indicating demand one. it is the eu's they have still not been reunited prerogative whether they grant it. with their phones yet, cabinet it's an attempt by mps to try and at ministers, so we are waiting to say, least close down the option of a no—deal brexit at the end of next speculating, nothing coming out of number ten yet, but an extraordinarily long cabinet week. we'll see tomorrow. thanks for meeting. they went in at 9:30am this morning. what do we think in terms of the next couple of hours, ben? do now. if there is movement we will be we think we will get a formal back to you. statement from number ten or that it will be down to ministers talking to i'm joined by the vice president of people like you and other colleagues? well, yes, it will the european parliament. . thanks either be that all the sort of for joining the european parliament. . thanks forjoining us. i'm wondering what informal briefing from cabinet
5:14 pm
you make of the words of the ministers and their aides piecing taoiseach today when he says that together a picture of what happened, any request for a brexit extension or number ten deciding this has been a big day and they do something more would have to have a purpose and he said it would have conditions direct, on the record, something attached? what conditions are we explanatory about what happens next. talking about? i've come out from a everybody, the country, parliament are waiting for answers, and the meeting of the constitutional prime minister has massive decisions affairs committee and we talked to make about how the next week, about brexit and there was a potentially the next months play presentation from two members of the out, because we know the deadline is house of lords about the april the 12th, that is when the eu relationship between the uk and the have said the prime minister must come back with a plan if she wants eu after brexit. to reference the to request a longer extension to the comments from the taoiseach, it is article 50 process. if not, we are clear and extension would need a plan and what we are trying to do is looking at i know to brexit at the give space and time but we are end of next week, and the time for conscious that the time should be thinking is over, the prime minister, who by many accounts does used purposefully. the committee i've just not really like making decisions, used purposefully. the committee i'vejust come from, used purposefully. the committee i've just come from, there was great she takes opinions on board, this is support in fact, more than i would have appreciated, from colleagues what the cabinet is in she now has to decide what to do, how to break saying that if extra time is needed we should be flexible but also this political impasse that is saying that we would hope to see com pletely this political impasse that is from the prime minister and house of completely strangulate in westminster now. we will be back commons a way forward. i think with you if somebody emerges, thank
5:15 pm
that's where we are. we are waiting you very much, ben wright. staying at watching and that's why listening with the brexit crisis, this morning the chief executive of siemens uk to your programme is important so we told bbc radio 4‘s today programme can gauge what is happening in the that the brexit negotiations have uk. we've done our work, we've put the company at a point of crisis negotiated a deal with the prime when it comes to investing in the uk. we warned it has taken 45 years minister on the future relationship also and that can be amended if the to make britain a trusted, reliable prior minister has a proposal. there trading partner, adding that britain is flexibility. there is concern is at risk of trashing its fabulous relationship with europe and urging because the only thing that is politicians to find a way forward, certain is that we don't have a ratified withdrawal agreement and very strong words from jurgen meyer. april the 12th is looming. we hope it won't go to a no deal but i think with me is the director and head of macroeconomics at the centre for in parliament many people are economic and business research, an speculating about how that may be independent economic think tank. avoided or what happens if there is thanks for coming in, nice to see avoided or what happens if there is ano avoided or what happens if there is a no deal. on the second of those, you, are you surprised by the siemens statement?” what happens if, what conclusions you, are you surprised by the siemens statement? i can't say i am have people come to?|j surprised, it very much echoes what happens if, what conclusions have people come to? i made a concerns that other businesses, presentation after hearing from the representatives of the house of lords, and their report is worth trade bodies, business membership reading about the future relationship. i think there's a view that a no deal is for ever a state organisations have been saying for months, that they are very worried
5:16 pm
of play for those who argue for it about the path that the brexit negotiations have taken, about the but it isn't. it is not a future. it lack of certainty, about how dragged is happening perhaps by accident but out that uncertainty has become. immediately afterwards i believe the people talking about the possibility uk would need to come to the eu and of some kind of customs union, just narrowly defeated as an option in ask to negotiate. the issue that will be on the table, three issues the house of commons last night. with that kind of option meet a lot in their withdrawal agreement, of those concerns, or its actual money, citizens‘ rights and the closeness to a bigger closeness to irish question but also the future the single market actually required relationship. in a sense, the idea by business? certainly, some businesses have called for a very that no deal solve the problem, in close relationship with europe, my view it creates problems for the almost mimicking the current uk, and also for the european union arrangements with the uk being in the eu. other businesses have not and that‘s why neither side want it. in the next few days there may be a gone as far and have just called for increased clarity. i think where we sharpening focus on how to avoid the are now, the greatest chances are that we are still going to see some worst—case scenario, which is bad for citizens. sometimes politics is version of the prime minister‘s deal ina bubble for citizens. sometimes politics is in a bubble but i listen to the with probably some add—ons and people i represent in the donegal amendments and certainly all of the fishing industry, people on the votes have only been indicative, but border with northern ireland, which they serve as guidance in terms of is impossible, the farmers, these
5:17 pm
what direction those amendments people are anxious and they want might go. when we look at the certainty, and we want certainty in the european parliament for our prospects for no—deal, if we leave citizens. and i hope and i really do without a deal on the 12th of april, hope that we can get that certainty next week, what would you say to evenif viewers about the measures that you hope that we can get that certainty even if at the moment it looks more have of what the economic impact chaotic than certain. good to talk would be on the uk?|j to you. have of what the economic impact would be on the uk? i think it would be quite a severe downside risk if the uk was going to leave with no let‘s talk about how deal. we have seen a lot of the brexit timeline is looking with our correspondent chris morris. companies put contingency plans in place, and i have not yet enacted where do we stand? you need to take those plans, but certainly most of them entailed relocating staff out a deep breath occasionally! i guess of the uk, turning around investment this week the focus is still in decisions towards other markets and so on. it is perhaps a bit parliament. two reasons, we have a couple of things going on. votes on comforting to say the chances of brexit options are going to be happening. we know there will be a leaving with no deal are very slim, i would put them out maybe 10—15%. bill tomorrow to prevent no deal, requiring the prime minister to know more? i wouldn't say they are request a delay to article 50. there higher than that, no, may be further indicative votes know more? i wouldn't say they are higherthan that, no, it know more? i wouldn't say they are higher than that, no, it seems to be tomorrow, thursday, next monday. one of the rare points where there is consensus, it seems that neither could there be another meaningful vote of some kind on the prime
5:18 pm
minister‘s deal? there is the hurdle businesses nor the majority of mps one day no—deal, and on the european of getting the speaker‘s permission side, they said they are preparing to put back to the vote something for no deal, but in their view it is similarto to put back to the vote something similar to what has been voted on an undesirable outcome. so it seems before. the reason this has to like there is at least some happen over the next few days means consensus around that. that next week there are some key dates. on the 10th of april, the when we talk about confidence around emergency summit in brussels, where investment decisions, siemens the eu want to hearfrom referenced that, as have other businesses, when we look at those emergency summit in brussels, where the eu want to hear from the emergency summit in brussels, where the eu want to hearfrom the uk pretty firmly what its ideas are for prospects in terms of let‘s say an a way forward. not just, extension to article 50, even if it pretty firmly what its ideas are for a way forward. notjust, we need a bit more time, but some proper is many months, , extension to article 50, even if it is many months,, that could involve ideas. because april the 12th is the us taking part in the european new march the 29th. if there is no elections, but in terms of business deal then the default position under investment decisions, with that law is that that is when brexit extension to article 50 be seen as happens and we leave under no deal which is what so many people are something that is encouraging, or would that provide a climate in trying to avoid. looking at the which investment decisions could be made with more confidence or not?|j spectrum of options, and it is a think we might see a small rebound very wide spectrum, what are the in that if there is a longer most likely? i suppose you have the extension, may be a year or two, but two nuclear options, and some would i think that we certainly wouldn‘t
