this is about greg clark, the brexit secretary, who is said to be close to remainers.ument that brexit must be as soft as possible, he is supporting that view. even though the government line is that we are in fact living being single market and the customs union, because that is what people wanted or expected when they voted for it. we might disagree with that. there are lots of difficulties because you have people like borisjohnson michael gove wanting this to happen, on the other people like cummins and greg clark perceived to be frustrating brexit. and on the other side, this isa brexit. and on the other side, this is a multisided, it is almost like the concept of collective responsibility had finally been put ina bin responsibility had finally been put in a bin and this has all come out. it has been very, very rapid. airbus came out and so be careful because there are thousands and thousands of jobs at risk you. we then have the foreign secretary talking about f business, you then have greg clark saying we need to listen to business. tonight, it had the cbi and tu

the business secretary greg clark. 2a hours after being ordered to leave the commons, the snp leaderion, calling for the scottish secretary david mundell to resign. the scottish parliament has refused to support the eu withdrawal bill. with the legislation passing through the commons this week, the snp is now accusing ministers of tossing aside an agreement that westminster should not legislate on devolved matters without scotland's consent. the minister insisted the government was abiding by the convention, saying the scottish parliament would end up with more than 80 new powers. these are serious times and serious issues and i've come to this house today with respect and ready for constructive debate. and i hope that that is the spirit on all sides. he set out the devolution measures in the brexit bill. all decision—making powers returning from the eu that intersect with devolved competence will pass directly to cardiff, edinburgh and belfast unless explicit steps are taken to temporarilypreserve an existing eu framework. the inter—governmental agreement underpinning the new clause
