out in the labour front bench amendment, the only way to achieve them are by means of the european economic arean economic area in the cross—party amendment. you can have both been. i don't want to bore your viewers with the intricacies. no, not too much process. basically. u nless not too much process. basically. unless you can put forward a piece of legislation or an amendment that command support on both sides of the house and notjust your position by government mps taking a different view to their government then you cannot get through. so the labour proposition does not go through because no conservative mp will support it. that is not the position of labour. the shadow brexit secretary says that your backing of the house of lords amendment of the britain being part of the european economic area will not work because it is the pretence that everyone in the parties in the place on a. he says that there are very strong and different views across the labour party on that particular amendment. he is saying to put that to one side and support owls. will you do that? just support the labour front

he wants britain to be a part of the european economic area, just like norway.ng against the spirit of brexit while also being disloyal to his own party leadership? chuka umunna, welcome. this new amendment would give britain full access to the single market. surely that is what you want, why not support it? i will be voting for the labour front bench amendment as we call it here in britain but also voting for a cross—party amendment which was supported by a number of parties in our british house of commons which sought to keep us in what is called the european economic area. that is the only way you can have genuinely free access and be a part of the framework of standards and rules that help consumers, the environment, employees. that is the only way to do it. the intention behind the amendment is not a bad one but you cannot actually achieve the objectives unless you seek to keep britain in the european economic area. let's clarify this because many find it complicated. you say you will support this new amendment for britain to have access to the single marke

what we would like is continued a membership we would like this is the european economic area indeed we would like to continue to form part of the single market we would like that to continue to be still access to those european markets so quite how that is achieved whether it is done as part of the u.k. agreement if there is a breakthrough that accommodates those matters or in some other fashion i think we'll have to wait and see our preference are very strong preference of course is that whatever applies to travolta will be what applies to the u.k. itself and it will be on terms that will guarantee to the u.k. . access to the customs union to the single market and to those matters and those. the to use it just made to prove successful as an economy and to be more from gibraltar as form of trade and industry minister peter a month ago before the break. it is your duty to toss this dross texting hostages taken care of our cause just please stand up for me you could function most of them from a completely different guise i would just. as static. the problem is that we kind of how they

what we would like is continued a membership we would like this is the european economic area indeed we would like to continue to form part of the single market we would like that to continue to be still access to those european markets so quite how that is achieved whether it is done as part of the u.k. agreement if there is a break see that. those matters in some other fashion i think we'll have to wait and see our preference of a strong preference of course is that whatever applies to travolta will be what applies to the u.k. itself and it will be on terms that will guarantee to the u.k. and gibraltar access to the customs union to the single market and to those matters and those facilities it has made gibraltar successful as an economy and they'll be more from gibraltar's former trade minister minister peter monti gleeful after the break. economists try to measure the impact of the old pups and one thing that we know is that they make people they make people happy the world cup was intended to have a profit for the national government is it's not a project that brings approach som

and the votes tomorrow on a customs union and on membership of the european economic area. hink that will go question marks the european economic area, they will not win that the question will be how many labour mps rebel against their leaderjeremy corbyn. labour mps rebel against their leaderjeremy corbyn. the labour leadership things that would be the worst of all wells, the so—called norway option, you pay your money, except immigration and freedom of movement and get no say in anything so movement and get no say in anything so they would be a sizeable rebellion on that on the labour side. on the customs union that has been touched again, the question is can the cabinet decided when they go to their away the day next month, can they decide which of those two options the gulf war and the bigger question, we'll either of them be ready in time. more crucial governments want —— more usual votes for the government tomorrow and of course we will have coverage of that but right now i it has been very overcast day. at least for most of the afternoon. now the weather across the co

but at the moment, our position is not for us to continue to fully participate in the european economic areae the economic benefits as much as possible that we enjoy as members of the european union once we have left. i mean, you say this is the "best worst—case scenario", but for those people who voted for brexit, they'll say that this is a complete sell—out. being a member of the eea, it's clear, isn't it? it's the four freedoms — goods, services, capital and people. and that was a big part of the brexit vote for the people who wanted to leave the european union, the free movement of people across the area. well, the first thing to say is that the amendment that is being put down by the labour front bench does not seek to keep us in the european economic area. that's my problem with it. it simply seeks for us to continue to have access to it, and frankly any country in the world can access it through a free—trade agreement. why i would like us to continue to be part of the european economic area is that it's a framework of protections for your viewers, to protect their rights at work, the

we have got thousands ofjobs european economic area. ropean restrictions and european legislation, you are not listening to them?” and european legislation, you are not listening to them? i am basically listening to their concerns because i basically listening to their concerns because i think ultimately what they are really concerned about is what happens to their economic well— being after brexit. is what happens to their economic well-being after brexit. you know better than them ? well-being after brexit. you know better than them? i am saying i do not think they voted to make themselves poorer. i want to make sure that does not happen. i think the best way of doing that at the moment is by staying in the european economic area. simon clark, you were ata economic area. simon clark, you were at a meeting with theresa may yesterday when she was essentially begging mps to back her because otherwise it puts her in a really wea k otherwise it puts her in a really weak position negotiating with the eu. there was a meeting of the parliament

terms of that vote on this european economic area, there was a lords amendment that would force the governmento make remaining in that ea and voting objective, remaining in the single market. jeremy corbyn had instructed his mps to abstain from that vote. but we are hearing that a number of the labour front bench team have quit their posts to vote for that amendment right now. parkersburg reporting, it sounds like an awful lot of labour mps have voted against the leadership, maybe 70 or so rebels, we should get the figures on that very soon. laura smith mp has resigned from her junior shadow cabinet office role to dividejeremy corbyn, as well as kelly reeves, and anna mcmartin, all resigning their roles in the shadow cabinet to dividejeremy corbyn. so after a day of debate, lots happening this evening. 0ur political editor, laura kuenssberg has been following a very busy day in westminster. farce 7 farce? a bit of pantomime?” farce? a bit of pantomime? i wanted a quiet work —— walk to work. farce? a bit of pantomime? i wanted a quiet work -- walk to work. you might not be what blamed for wonde

norway is a member of the european economic area.eu members and non—eu members like norway, iceland and liechtenstein. becoming a member would automatically give the uk full access to the single market but would also bind it to eu rules. erna solberg has been talking to my colleague christian fraser, who started by asking her if she was warming to the idea of britainjoining the european economic area. if britain would want to participate in the eea, i do not think we should say no but i have always said i do not think that is an option that is natural after the principles of why you left or you have brexit. because this is about, to us, the most important part is we will not change the eea agreement to accommodate entry for britain because for us, the four freedoms are vital and important, the fact we have this institution and the pillar making decisions outside the national countries to make sure we follow the same rules and regulations as the rest of the eu and the eu in fact decides on the directives so we are walking in the same

jeremy corbyn had ordered his mps to abstain in a vote on the european economic area.debate, a new metaphor emerged. now what is the cabinet doing at the moment? well, they spent two years arguing. first of all about how to create a "deep and special" lifeboat. they are trying to discuss whether they can come up with a lifeboat that will not breach its red lines. they've broken up into working groups. they're probably discussing the size, colour and shape of the lifeboat. the only thing that hasn't happened yet is a minister hasn't got up at the dispatch box and announced that no lifeboat is better than a bad lifeboat. six mps resigned from junior roles in the shadow cabinet to defy the leadership. in all, 75 labour mp rebelled in favour of keeping the uk in the european economic area, while 15 labour brexit supporters rebelled to vote against. the ayes to the right, 327. noes to the left, 126. ministers easily won the vote to throw out the idea. well, the eu withdrawal bill isn't quite the creature it was when it was first drafted, but that's the nature of bills. bits

and on the european economic area, tomorrow. so let's have a look at them one by one.out the withdrawal agreement the uk is negotiating with the eu. the government has suggested that a vote on the deal, later this year or early next, will be take it or leave it. either accept it, or see the uk leave the eu with no deal at all. the lords amendment would give parliament the power to stop that and give the house of commons the right to decide what happens next if the withdrawal bill is rejected. now, compromised language has been suggested, but if the government loses this vote it will show that parliament is asserting more control over the brexit process. then there are two amendments about the uk's future economic relationship with the eu. now, the lords amendment on a customs union is a little woolly, requiring the government to show parliament, by october 31st this year, that it has tried to negotiate membership of a customs union. prospects of a government defeat appear to have receded, with the tabling of a compromised amendment, with even vaguer language about a cu

attempts to keep the uk in the european economic area after brexit have been defeated in the house ofen wright is in westminster. for viewers who are starting very beginning, take us through it. what is happening right now, mps are still voting here. the house of commons over a couple of days, they're digesting commons over a couple of days, they‘ re digesting and commons over a couple of days, they're digesting and voting upon a whole raft of changes to a big piece of legislation going through parliament all about brexit. changes that the house of lords recommended and mps are now considering. so far the government have defeated all the amendments they wanted to kick out. the one we were all watching this evening was an amendment which would effectively instruct the uk to remain in the single market. something called the eea, that's the way norway is able to become a full member of the european single market. and there are a number of mps across the house who like the idea as a way of protecting the uk economy. the government comfortably managed to kick this out because they instruct

there is actually a way of doing this, the european economic area. ld have been a possibility. that is the private view of david cameron and if you around which i think much of the hou5e around which i think much of the house of commons could coalesce but the difficulty is that it cannot be delivered by a conservative party riven by differences over remain and leave and a labour party that is worried about a minority, it has to be said, but an important minority of con5tituencie5 which were leave voter5. of con5tituencie5 which were leave voters. but the eea does not give you the right to set the rules and relation5 committee have your hands tied. it is the second-best option, i know that, but if you want to interpret the brexit vote in a way that could have got you so macome it could have been that. personally i think there should be a second vote on what kind of deal comes back ultimately and in a democracy one should revisit decisions that are rank bad and this is a rank bad decision. i will have to cut you short. thank you. facebook has confirmed

let's talk first about the amendment of the european economic area. lf option for the best off—the—shelf option for the uk. hilary benn said the eea isn't ideal, but it's a lifeboat. your party leaderjeremy corbyn has asked his mps to abstain from voting on that. isn't that a copout? others have suggested from the labour benches that it is the worst option available. so i am certain that there will be labour mps in both lobbies. jeremy will be abstaining. and that reflects the spirit of people across the country. it does reflect the split among public opinion and within the labour party and the conservative party. but out of all that, how do you think parliament is going to reach a reconciliation and a clear way ahead with time running out before the date that the uk is due to leave the eu? this is a negotiation, and negotiations always have lots of theatre. this is side theatre to the real negotiations. theresa may and her negotiating team are going to continue negotiating. if they get a good deal, that will be voted through by a large majority in par

single market, so joining the european kind of access to the single market, sojoining the european economic area barnier would like us to be with the single market, with the customs union, in other words, in the eu. market, with the customs union, in otherwords, in the eu. and of course we would have absolutely no say on anything that is going on. it can't happen, because that wouldn't be brexit. i don't think most people would accept that. well, yes, but she has got so little wiggle room for negotiating. but that would cross, for negotiating. but that would ci’oss, you for negotiating. but that would cross, you know, two of the red lines. can ijust ask cross, you know, two of the red lines. can i just ask you, cross, you know, two of the red lines. can ijust ask you, as a straw poll of two people but i'm not going to answer! do you remember anybody mentioning islands in the heated pre— referendum conversation? —— ireland. heated pre— referendum conversation? -- ireland. i do. lawyers. heated pre— referendum conversation? -- ireland. ido. lawyers. lawyers that i spoke to. we should have listened

and that point about labour, the customs union and the european economic area, those votes tomorrow couldicial majority but you had some labour mps backing the idea switching back to the government which makes it even more complicated. tomorrow on the vote on the customs union and the european economic area, you have the labour front bench taking a position in which much of the labour backbench does not agree with. the have this three—way thing, it probably means that as a result nothing will happen and the government will get its way. but it shows although the government looks like the shambles, actually looking at what is happening on the labour bench is just as confusing. good to see you both and thank you. if you are none the wiser do not worry, we're going to be here on the news channel to explain those votes tomorrow again. the lords amendments and then back to the commons for mps to vote on them. theresa may had a good day dealing with all that today. how is it going to be for her tomorrow? it all made perfect sense to me! let's move onto some news. a ship carrying more than 600 re

there's also an amendment on the european economic area, which would force the government to make remainings telling its mps to abstain. but dozens of labour backbenchers could vote for it anyway, as will some tory rebels. that will give an indication of the strength of support for single market membership in further parliamentary battles to come. in other words, this isn't the last word by a long shot. but the eu withdrawal bill, which will probably receive royal assent next month, is a crucial part of the brexit process. and this is one of parliament's opportunities to have its say. thank you very much. that's chris morris from our reality check team. i'm joined by the crossbench peer lord kersla ke. let's talk about the breaking news this morning, we have the resignation of a junior minister. what does that say about where we are at the moment, do you think? well, it's an extraordinary resignation at this point, and i think it tells us that brexit is a process is in a bad way. two years on nearly from the referendum we haven't been able to make decisions on big issues that matter. and we

amendments being debated called for the government to negotiate an option of staying in the european economic areas eu nations and three other countries. labour had asked its mps not to vote on that proposal, but some felt strongly the eea was not the way forward. the eea and norway, liechtenstein—iceland model does not allow us to have control over how freedom of movement will change in the future. it ties us to no say, and that is what norway, liechtenstein and iceland have signed up to, no control over freedom of movement. liechtenstein has of course been able to negotiate immigration quota system mr speaker, but it is a country of only 37,000 people. it's probably less than half the size of most of our constituencies. i do not see in all reality the exemption, a permanent exemption on free movement being afforded to a country of the size of the united kingdom, and that is why the intervention by the honourable lady, the member for don valley was an important one in the context of this debate. and for those reasons, that is why we cannot accept this amendment or indeed the original lords amendm

there is also a lords amendment about the european economic area which would force the government to conomic area and negotiating objective and therefore staying in the single market. but you may well know thatjeremy corbyn has told labour mps to abstain on that. we do think however that 50—60 labour mps that. we do think however that 50—60 labourmps might that. we do think however that 50—60 labour mps might ignore what the party leader is saying. we also expect a number of tory rebels to express their anger over this process as well. they feel they can do that because with some labour mps abstaining they believe ultimately the government will not lose that amendment. joining me now is the labourmpfor amendment. joining me now is the labour mp for darlington jenny chapman, the shadow, part of the shadow department of exiting the european union, thank you for your time. before we get into details about what i've just been mentioning, dramatic scenes in the house with the snp, you are witnessing that, what does this ultimately mean do you think for the brexit process and theresa may? t

the key challenge is surrounding the lords amendment, and keeping them within the european economic areahave put forward their own amendments, about keeping some sort of access to the single market. there will be labour rebels unhappy, they want to be part of the ea. they are facing a challenge and keir starmer was talking to the andrew marr show earlier, and made the point that this is not the last opportunity mps have two vote against the government on plans for other future relationship with the eu. we have trade bills coming up in july, the trade bill is coming up and people can vote on that. he said it is not the last chance they have to express their views. the idea that this tuesday or wednesday is the last chance saloon on a single market deal is misconceived. there will be another chance with those bells and i hope we get significant victories on what matters. —— significant victories on what matters. — — those significant victories on what matters. —— those bells. i urge tory mps who care about this, i know it is difficult to back those amendments, and we will back those amendm

will be looking to knock out house of lords amendment that would require the uk to join the european economic areause of lords amendment. the labour party, the labour leadership does not support that, so the government should be fine on that. the really interesting one tomorrow afternoon, this is potentially a much tighter vote on this meaningful vote. and this is the house of lords is essentially saying that parliament should have a decisive role in directing the government if the brexit deal is voted down and there are remainer tories tonight saying they really do think they could defeat the government, but then there is a larger bulk of pro—europeans who say, let's be helpful. —— house of lords. -- house of lords. at this point, do you think theresa may has united her party? i think theresa may has united her party until the end of the month because injuly, that separate brexit legislation is going to come back, the customs and the trade bill, which is going to give pro—europea ns chance to table amendments on, you guessed it, the eea and the customs union. but before those votes take place, th

you can't say in the european economic area, which we are debating, without talking about free movement of people prayed and i urge the prime minister to stick to our policy, leave the single market, and -- [no audio] [applause] [inaudible] -- -- -- -- [inaudible] >> the party used to say they want to control of our borders. now that they want free movement, we will take control of our border. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i wish england the best tournament in russia and hope it goes well. and england wins. [laughter] week is national terrorist week. this opportunity to patriot to those thousands of usually unpaid was commitment to family and friends too often goes unrecognized. as the prime minister pointed out, tomorrow marks one year on the anniversary of the grenfell tower fire. we will be meeting families again. the sad truth and reality is that many of them are still waiting for the security of a permanent home one year on from that disaster. when the prime minister met president donald trump last week, did she do as the foreign secretary suggested and ask him to take over the brexit

of house of commons voting to keep the uk in the single market through membership of the european economic areahe labour front bench voted for it and they have now got their milder amendment and they will not be voting for that eea one next week. thank you. whatever your week has been like so far, thank your lucky stars you're not chris grayling. unless you are chris grayling, in which case please feel free, chris, to call in to the programme. yesterday, northern rail was called a company that had ‘declared war on its passengers and staff'. the blame was laid squarely at the transport secretary's feet — by both the opposition and his own party. today, 25 local newspapers from towns and cities across the north united to call for the government to grip the crisis. meanwhile, back in parliament we moved from trains to planes. chris grayling was tasked with telling the commons that heathrow airport would be expanded "in the national interest". a move that simultaneously managed to anger some in the south living nearby and others in the north who are too far to benefit. so what should we make of all

norway is a member of the european economic area.celand and liechtenstein. becoming a member would automatically give the uk full access to the single market but would also bind it to eu rules. erna solberg has been talking to my colleague christian fraser, he started by asking her if she was warming to the idea of britainjoining the european economic area. if britain would want to —— participate in the eea i do not think we should say no but i have a lwa ys think we should say no but i have always said i do not think that is an option after the principles of why you left white we have brexit. because this is about, to us, the most important part is we will not change the eea to accommodate for entry for britain because for us, the four freedoms are a vital and important, the fact we have this institution and the pillar making decisions outside the national countries to make sure we are follow the same rules and regulations as the same rules and regulations as the rest of the eu and the eu in fa ct the rest of the eu and the eu in fa

will become a member of the european economic area. that has always been my view. no reason to change that. anna: there is a vote on that subject next week in the house of commons. >> and another point of uncertainty of course is that we have part of the parliamentary tory party who may vote with labour. we also have opposition from the house of lords. to come back to your question, investors are looking at this and of uncertainty and find incapable to make investment decisions based on what will happen on brexit outcomes. we don't know what the government doesn't know itself. anna: what does the pound risk on brexit? bythe pound is more driven expectations of the bank of england. weak first-quarter economic data, notably in the service sector. the service sector pmi has recovered. that has driven it vacations at the bank -- that the bank of -- that has driven expectations that the bank of england will raise rates. and improvements in inflation could either stop or reverse, given what has happened to commodity prices and with the weakness in the pound against the u

you can't say in the european economic area, which we are debating later today, without talking about free movement of people. can i urge the prime minister to stick to our policy of leaving the single market, and not listening bour voices.lay [applause] >> i absolutely agree with him. the labour party used to say that they wanted control of r borders. now what they want is free movement. we will take control of our borders. >> jeremy corbyn. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i wish england the best in the tournament in russia and hope it goes really, really well. and england wins.

norway is a member of the european economic area.oming a member would automatically give the uk full access to the single market but would also bind it to eu rules. erna solberg has been talking to my colleague christian fraser, he started by asking her if she was warming to the idea of britainjoining the european economic area. if britain would want to participate in the eea, of course i don't think we should say no, but i have also said over time that i don't think thatis said over time that i don't think that is an option that for me is natural after the principles of why we left —— why you left, why we have brexit. not in keeping with the boat? no, for us the most supportive thing is we will not change the eea to accommodate for example britain, because for us the four freedoms are vital and important, the fact we have this institution that makes decisions outside the natural countries to make sure we follow the same rules as the rest of the eu, and that the eu in fact decides on the directive so that we are walking in the same,

and also whether or not according to one load to mimic the uk should become a member of the european economic area singapore. tune in for that. you are watching bbc news. small businesses based under railways arches across the country today called on the transport secretary to step in and stop the sale of their premises. network rail wants to raise up to a billion pounds by selling thousands of them. but campaigners fear rents will rise and their livelihoods will be at risk. helen mulroy reports. for 13 years, alinney and her husband marcus have been running their bike workshop out of this railway arch. but they fear for the future with network rail trying to sell thousands of their archway premises this summer. network rail owns more than 5000 railway arches across the country. hundreds of which are here in london like these behind me. ahead of this potential sale, as the value of this property was assessed, many businesses within the arches were hit with rent rises. some of the steepest of which were here in london. our rent was to be reviewed at the end of march, and network rail threatened to

now, some of those are pretty crucial ones, we know there will be a vote on the european economic areay in it customs union, that would be pretty tricky for the government to overturn, and then one about a meaningful vote. really, this is about parliament is trying to take control of the process, trying to have a say. of course, the government was defeated in the commons before christmas, at which point there were 11 conservative rebels, and julian smith will be trying to make sure there are not that number, next week, but it could being credibly important for the type of brexit that we end up with. and tied in with that debate, of course, the whole thing about our future trading relationship notjust with the eu but the rest of the world, and now the us has imposed ta riffs world, and now the us has imposed tariffs on steel imports, we understand the prime minister has made representations to president trump. she has already said that she is disappointed by what president trump has decided to do. we are told that she had a 30 minute conversation by phone with the president this afterno

current rules mean that eu students could study at any country in the european economic area, the euand and lichtenstein. and they can do that for the same fees as local students. so in 11 other countries, that's ten in the eu plus norway, uk stu d e nts that's ten in the eu plus norway, uk students can study for free because home students don't pay any fees there. other countries also charge pretty low tuition fees. in france, state—funded universities charge between 180— 600 euros per year. of course there can be language hurdles to ove rco m e course there can be language hurdles to overcome in studying abroad, but many universities, like germany, off of —— offer courses in english, giving native english speakers and advantage. we don't have any exact figures for the overall uk students setting in the eea... that is still a lot lower than england, there are 2700 78 students in the uk in 2016-17. quite 2700 78 students in the uk in 2016—17. quite an increase from the previous year. the obvious question is what is likely to happen after brexit? the eu and uk have agreed that during

there's also an amendment on the european economic area.give an indication of the strength of support for single market membership in further parliamentary battles to come. this isn't the last word by a long shot. but the eu withdrawal bill, which will probably receive royal assent next month, is a crucial part of the brexit process. and this is one of parliament's opportunities to have its say. thank you. i want to take you to russia, because that is where the england football team have just arrived. we're getting pictures of them. you can see the door is open. look at the timing of this, as they start disembarking the plane. our correspondent is watching the pictures. these are, unedited pictures, so forgive the odd angle change. hugh, there is increasing anticipation, despite the youth of the team ? anticipation, despite the youth of the team? yes there is. they're led off the plane. the players at least led off the plane by their captain, harry kane. you saw a few faces. there is danny rose, the spurs left back. on his phone, patiently

you cannot stay in the european economic area without continuing with free movement of people, so can—— absolutely agree with him. the labour party used to say that they wanted control of the borders but now what they wa nt of the borders but now what they want is free movement. we will take back control of our borders. i wish the england team all the best in the tournament in russia and hope it goes really, really well. this week, mr speaker, and that england win! this week is national carers week andi this week is national carers week and i want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to those thousands of usually unpaid carers whose commitment to family and friends too often goes unrecognised. as the prime minister pointed out, tomorrow marks one year of the anniversary of the grenfell tower fire and be meeting families tomorrow at the silent march but the sad truth and reality is that many of them are still waiting for the security of a permanent home one year on from that disaster. when this —— prime minister met donald trump last week did she do, as the foreign secretary suggest

well, current rules mean that eu students can study in any country in the european economic area — that'srse there can be language hurdles to overcome in studying abroad. but many universities in germany for example offer courses in english, which obviously gives native english speakers from the uk a big advantage. we don't have exact figures for the overall number of uk students studying for degrees elsewhere in the eea, but in the netherlands where average fees are about 2,000 euros per year, a lot lower than england, there were 2,778 uk students in 2016/17, a 20% increase on the previous year. so the obvious question — what's likely to happen after brexit? well, the eu and the uk have agreed that during the proposed post—brexit transition period, from march 29th next year until the end of 2020, the rules will stay the same as they are now. and, importantly, as long as you start your degree before the end of 2020 you will retain those rights until your course comes to an end. but after that? well, as ever, it depends on what gets negotiated, but the working assumption is that uk student

they won‘t accept the idea that britain should stay in the european economic area or a customs union,s in charge of making sure the government has the numbers it needs to get things through parliament, and that says to mps very clearly, i know you‘re very interested in this subject, and please make sure that you are working from the parliamentary estate at all times, so mps on standby for a big day. thanks forjoining us. let‘s cross live to the house of commons where the trade secretary liam fox is updating parliament. pointing out that the uk is responsible for 1% of us steel imports. the last time i addressed the house on this issue these unilateral trade measures have weak foundations indeed, in international law, and they are not consistent with the us department of defence‘s ownjudgment in with the us department of defence‘s own judgment in an investigation that was conducted on the basis of national security. we believe the uni macro should have been permanently and fully exempted from the measures on steel and aluminium —— the the measures on steel and aluminium -- the eu. the

european countries to agree to allow britain to be more involved with security after brexit. i suppose this is one area where the conservative party of the government is united, there may be arguments over the economicsbrexit but eve ryo ne over the economics of brexit but everyone would sign up to this, that a security corporation after brexit, whether you're in favour or not of leaving the eu is essential. you would have thought so and i think it is one of our great strengths in the uk, we are known drug europe to have good intelligence services in policing. we do regularly co—operate to stop threats and the only thing that would make me think a little bit is some reference in the report about respecting the remit of the european court of justice, about respecting the remit of the european court ofjustice, which isn't exactly popular with brexiteers for all sorts of reasons to do with a lot of them think it has too much power. and it has become one of the bogeyman of europe's. although the headline looks very good for theresa may but it may not be so much plane saying in the issue as others. clearly the briefing that has been given a head of the summit is tough talking and finger wagging. you wonde
