say to my right honourable... can i say to my right honourable...ay to my right honourable and learn ata say to my right honourable and learn at a friend, of course he is absolutely right that it is on the ist of february that the epa with japan came into force. prior to that we had been trading with japan on wto organisations. in relation to the trade deals which have been agreed between the eu and countries around the world, we see continuity in those agreements at the point of which we leave the eu. we've also been working to see continuity where we to leave with no deal. but we also want to ensure that we can enhance our trade arrangements with a number of countries around the world. and so then build our own trade agreements with those countries. i think that's the best and most sensible approach, to maintain trading relations as they are, as we leave the eu, and then build and enhance those trading relationships with our own independent trade agreements. sometimes i think the prime minister must live in a parallel universe. we have just heard

in any event, the important point is, honourable members and right honourable members and right honourablebers opposite them in government and senior backbenchers, made it clear they would vote to ta ke made it clear they would vote to take no deal off the table and break a three line whip and if necessary either resign from or be sacked in government. can the prime minister confirmed nothing has changed. and no deal remains firmly on the table? she talks about acting in the national interest. at every stage of this, the national interest has been the focus of the work i have been doing. that is why i negotiated what i believed to be a good deal with the european union. that was rejected by this house. it is why i have listened to the views of this house as to what the house wanted to see changed in the withdrawal agreement and in the package that was negotiated in order to ensure the house would support that package. that is why we are in talks with the european union on that and why i intends to work to bring back to this house changes this house can support and ensure we will be able to

i recognise the right honourable gentleman has a lwa ys the right honourable gentleman has always been and that is what we are working for. iam and that is what we are working for. i am pleased to hear from and that is what we are working for. i am pleased to hearfrom my right honourable friend a willingness to consider the possibility of an extension of article 50 to prevent a catastrophic note to brexit. my honourable friend also said, rightly, that across this house there are widely divergent views as to why the deal that she has negotiated in good faith has been rejected. my concern is this, i see no reason to think that the situation will change because despite what she has done in good faith, it is a second—rate outcome for our country. if this is to continue, how are we indeed to break the logjam. here i have to say to her that her browbeating of the house that she did today indicating that unless we simply go along with a deal which is considered to be inadequate, there is no solution but i know do brexit, or a unilateral revocation is simply inaccurate. surely it is perfectly

now, the right honourable lady has criticised the approach that my right honourable friend the primedemanded changes to the backstop. as part of the approach he wanted to see for the approach he wanted to see for the future. the right honourable lady has said that she would be co mforta ble lady has said that she would be comfortable with the backstop. does she agree with her leader or a she sticking to her guns on this?” she agree with her leader or a she sticking to her guns on this? i hear what the minister is saying that he doesn't seem to get us any answers. i genuinely appreciate his attempts but i hope you will understand the concern that all of us have, not just in this house, but across the country, that we have a government treading water in the niagara river while the current is taking us over the falls. and we go... be quiet. the whip on duty has no useful contribution to make other than to nod and shake his head in certain places. emily thornberry. iam very places. emily thornberry. i am very grateful, mr speaker. can we go back to the central issue, which is this, there

i listened very carefully to the exchange between my right honourable friend and the right honourable shadow foreign secretary, on the subject of the arrangement for brexit, and i have to say, i formed the impression they were trying to find detailed points upon which they could disagree, and if it was left to them, they would take about five minutes to agree on a proposal, which would take us smoothly through march 29 into proper negotiations. but some brexiteers fear the government's going soft on the most controversial part of the prime minister's brexit plan, the insurance policy to keep the irish border open. the amendment said, and requires the northern ireland backstop to be replaced with alternative arrangements to avoid a hard border. as the government voted for it, can he confirm that is still their policy, and if not, which bit of "replaced" is not clear? the motion of course also said that is subject to those changes, i bet those who voted for the motion would be willing to accept the withdrawal agreement. well, after two days in northern ireland, the prime minister will s

with my right honourable friend join with me in paying tribute notjust to this remarkable group but toas referenced the mountains of afghanistan from the gulf war to operations in syria and iraq, the tornado has been a vital part of operations and is my right honourable friend, the defence secretary said last week, it is with a heavy heart and with enormous pride we bid farewell to the tornado having played a vital role in keeping britain safe. i will be replaced with where the successes in the improved typhoon and others, but i'm very happy to pay tribute at the dispatch box to the play and only men and women who are flown maintain it over the past 40 years. the uk's democracy is defunct. it's economy and society chronically unequal. britain is breaking. let us speak as others find us. this plain truth has not gone unnoticed. in pubs, clubs and homes, people talk about this place and now westminster is failing them. when will the prime minister left her gaze above party interests, above westminster interests, when will she work with others to make this island is free, self—sufficient,

i recognise the concern of right honourable and honourable members for ensuring that the voice of the is why i said those votes will be brought before the house should we lose the meaningful vote. i want to continue to see this house suuport a meaningful vote so that we can leave with a deal. to delay article 50 would incur many billions of pounds of taxpayers money available otherwise for public services and which i realise might not be handed over to the eu if we left on the 29th of march. that this is a shameful moment, nothing has changed. apart from the fact that some of us to use over there are now sitting over here. and one of the reasons for that is because yet again we see in the prime minister a planning taking at the same time that fudge is being created. a failure to put the country and that nation's interest first. it is better than leaving without the deal with is the current trajectory for the uk given the letter that she wrote in march 2017. you fought against the deal on march the 12th, that leads to a vote of no deal on the 13th. and when we vote against no deal agai

i am grateful to my right honourable friend. cani grateful to my right honourable friend.sh negotiations, perhaps at the last minute. can he tell me how talks have been going on, and does he get the indication this is what we should allow the government to do? as is often the case, he reflects a sentiment one hears in the country at large, which is the desire for a deal and that is as he says a desire shared by many we have been speaking to in the eu, because they recognise that no deal is in neither side's interest and recognise it is disruptive. i come onto not just recognise it is disruptive. i come onto notjust what recognise it is disruptive. i come onto not just what the german chancellor has set herself in terms of seeking a solution constructively, but the fact eve ryo ne constructively, but the fact everyone looks at the political situation in many european countries, the coalition that is in place, and it is in both sides' interests. i give way. we want to get a deal with the european union, but is it the case if you take no deal off the table it is the surest wa

but it appears, mr speaker, that the right honourable memberfor west dorset speaker, that the right honourable a terrifying fa ct. he went on to say it is a terrifying fact. mr speaker, thousands of car workers in derby, sunderland, birmingham and swindon are facing redundancy. does that matter to the prime minister? may i say to the right honourable gentleman, first of all, we have seen decisions taken by car manufacturers and obviously the decision this week by honda is deeply disappointing and they have made absolutely clear that this is not a brexit related decision. this isa not a brexit related decision. this is a decision about the change that is a decision about the change that is taking place to the global car market. jobs of course matter to this government and while the right honourable gentleman wants to talk aboutjobs, honourable gentleman wants to talk about jobs, perhaps you honourable gentleman wants to talk aboutjobs, perhaps you would like to change the habit of a lifetime and stand up at that dispatch box and stand up at that dispatch box and welcome the insolentjob figures

the right honourable lady will know i cannot comment on any individual case.retaries do have the power to strip british citizenship from someone, where it does not render them stateless. so whilst i cannot talk about an individual case, it should be quite obvious that if that is the power as it set out in the 1981 british nationality act, the power cannot be used if someone is rendered stateless as a result of using the power. and that power has only been used by successive home secretaries and successive governments, based on expert advice from the officials, including legal advisers to make sure that it is entirely lawful when it is being deployed at all times. the right honourable lady should reflect that it is the job of the home secretary, and she is the shadow home secretary and she wants to be home secretary and she should reflect that ultimately it is the responsibility of the home secretary to use whatever tools are available to keep this country safe. hear, hear! the home secretary quite rightly says he cannot comment on the individual case of shamim

my right honourable friend raises a vital issue and i am sure many honourable and right honorable membersn the news today ofajihadi fighter looking to return back to the united kingdom. it is a very serious issue indeed. it is vital that we continue to do everything possible to keep uk citizens safe. there have been renewed calls for the transport secretary to resign over what mps called "fiascos" on his watch. chris grayling was under fire again over his handling of the £13.8 million contract awarded to seaborne freight to provide ferry services into ramsgate in kent in the event of a no—deal brexit. it was cancelled after the company, which had no ships and no experience in the sector, parted with its backer, irish company arklow shipping. mr grayling had said no public money had been spent during the process, but a report from the national audit 0ffice revealed it had cost £800,000 in consultancy fees. the secretary of state may wish to argue that you got this £100,000 worth since echoes of to come back with findings, including that seaborne freight presented steve get execution risks

tonight, honourable and right honourable collea g u es honourable and right honourable colleagues from we can never tolerate anti—semitic violence, and the party opposite can never be too apologetic about it. cani apologetic about it. can i say i'd like tojoin my honourable friend in recognising the work that is done by the community security trust. they do such important and valuable work throughout the year, i'm pleased the government is able to support the work they do. my honourable friend is absolutely right, you can never be too apologetic about anti—semitism. this sums up what we've heard of labour under their leader. they lose the honourable memberfor leader. they lose the honourable member for liverpool and keep the honourable member for derby north. it tells you all you need to know about the labour leadership, present but not involved. perhaps if the labour leader actually wants to take action against racism, he would suspend the honourable memberfor derby north. order! the honourable lady must be heard. thank you, mr speaker. one homeless person dying on our streets is enou

the right honourable — the right honourable lady, as i recall, voted in favour of triggering articlet exchange was before news emerged from brussels of donald tusk‘s contribution to diplomacy — one that got the expected reception when it reached the commons. since the prime minister's questions has begun, the president of the european council has said that there is a special place in hell reserved for brexiteers. i don't recall, sir, any president insulting members of this house, members of the government, and the british people in such a way. what means is open to the house, or the government, to respond to such a completely outrageous insult? 0n the committee corridor, the business secretary told mps the deadline for many in industry was nearer than you might think. i've been very outspoken in saying that we should not regard the 29th of march or the 28th of march as the — as the time that we should be prepared to take to conclude a deal. people often say that these things are done at the last minute. the last minute for important exporters is fast approaching, over the next few da

to briefly to express their dismay and deep concern, which i anticipate the statements of my right honourablenot tell me what the situation is. the honourable gentlemen is a lower officer. he should've asked me in advance, you're either on the front bench or you are not, it is not for the honourable gentlemen to presume the right to speak about the matter. i'm very sorry, but i said what i said. well, the minister was in the commons to answer an urgent question on progress towards resolving the deadlock over the northern ireland backstop. the insurance policy to stop a physical border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. labour's nick thomas simmons, who requested the statement, accused ministers of running down the clock. but mr buckland said it was down to all mps to get the brexit deal through parliament. we're about to make a momentous decision about the future of our country, the government needs to be clear with this house as to precisely what its strategy is. running the clock down is reckless and irresponsible. surely, this nation deserves better than a government wan

i understood from the right honourable member...say amendment e. amendment. that is to say amendment e, is my understanding correct? amendment. that is to say amendment e, is my understanding correct7m is on this occasion but i'm sure that we can sort it all out. thank you. in that case, colleagues, we come now to the main motion as on the order paper. the question is the main motion as on the order paper. as many as are of the opinion, say "aye". to the contrary, "no". division! clearly lobby! anna soubry of the backbenches was going to put forward an amendment calling for the government to set out what a no—deal brexit with me for the uk. she has come to an agreement with the comment that will be published in the next week or so. so she is receiving the right on that amendment which few will bring back on the 27. she is not satisfied but she has suspended it for now. they will now vote on the main motion itself, the government motion. this house, reiterated support for the approach to leaving the eu, expressed by the house on the

i have to take issue with the tone of the right honourable gentlemen.good service, a huge disservice in a way that he speaks in the tone that he has used to suggest there is even an ounce of racism in this house and to ignore the facts. he said those on the flight were foreign national offenders only. every single one of them convicted of a serious crime and under the 2007 act which he supported, which requires anybody, it doesn't matter which part of the world they are from, if they are a foreign national offender from the united states, jamaica, australia, canada, it doesn't matter, it requires the home secretary to issue a deportation order, it is a legal requirement. can i support what the home secretary has said in the house today? and urge him to ensure that foreign national offenders who commit crimes are sent back to the countries from where they came because we don't want these people in this country? my honourable friend refers to the law, a law that represents the will of this house that was passed in 2007. but there was an apology for one vi

the right honourable gentleman says of course not.pted that you can't just vote to reject no deal, you have to vote for a deal. otherwise you leave with no deal. will he ensure that if this government comes back with a revised deal that ensures we don't leave with no deal, he will actually support it? i look forward to meeting the prime minister to discuss a solution that could, in my view, unite the country. changes to the backstop alone will not be sufficient. businesses and trade unions are very clear that any solution, any solution, must involve a customs union and the strongest possible deal with the single market. when the snp westminster leader stood up, theresa may attacked the comments he'd made the night before, accusing the tories of ripping up the good friday agreement. but the snp leader was unrepentant, accusing the prime minister of acting with sheer irresponsibility. and he summed up the impact he thought brexit would have on scotland. prime minister, scotland wants to stay in the eu. we are scunnered by this governmen

ideas put forward by the alternative arrangements working group comprised of a number of my right honourableiven both sides agree we do not ever want to use the backstop and that if we did it with the temporary, we believe it is reasonable to ask for a legally binding changes to this effect. mr speaker, as expected, president jean—claude juncker maintained the eu position that they will not reopen the withdrawal agreement and isaid reopen the withdrawal agreement and i said the uk position strengthened by the mandate this house gave me, that this house needs to see legally binding changes to the backstop and that can be achieved by changes to the withdrawal agreement. we both agreed that teams should hold further talks to find a way forward and he and i will meet again before the end of their breed to take stock of those discussions. so the work continues. the secretary of state and the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster or in strasbourg today and la st lancaster or in strasbourg today and last week the attorney general was in dublin to meet his irish counterpart and following my own visit

i've responded to questions in the silk from my right honourable friend on a number of occasions and i have not changed my opinion. i believe it is important this house recognises that having given the choice to the british people as to whether or to leave or stay in the european union the british people having chosen we should respect that choice and deliver on that choice and that is what we are doing. joanna cherry. i know during her statement the prime ministers said she had secured an agreement with the eu for further talks. and i'm sure she used the word togs advisedly because when the brexit select committee was in brussels last week we were told very clearly the negotiations are over and that the end of november, when the prime minister should pounce on the prime minister should pounce on the deal to which she agreed, isn't the deal to which she agreed, isn't the reality quite simply this? that deal will not be changed by the eu, she cannot get that deal through this house of what she needs to do is put the deal to the people of the four nations of the united kingdom? i've ju

attlee and bevin would be spinning in their graves, that is what the right honourable gentleman has doneoud labour party. we will never let him do it to our country! theresa may. but the cracks and splits of the two main parties were not over. on friday after mps have returned from their constituencies, ian austin announced that he'd resigned from labour too, ian austin announced that he'd resigned from labour too, saying he was going to stand with the victims of racism and not the people responsible for or tolerating it. and it was anti—semitism that led mps like luciana borges. she said she'd seen obfuscation, smears in action and denial of the issue. when it was debated in the chamber on wednesday, a shadow minister made an emotional apology to jewish people on behalf of his party. how can it be that we are struggling so badly to eradicate anti—semitism from our own membership? i want on behalf of my party, to publicly apologise to the jewish community that we have let you down. we know it. we are trying to do better. we are trying to become the party we have always aspired to be. we

let me tell the right honourable gentleman what the transport secretary is delivering: the biggest railrogramme since the victorian era, spending nearly £48 billion on improving our railways to deliver better journeys, 20% higher on average every year than under a labour government. that is what the transport secretary is delivering: commitment to transport in this country and commitment to transport across the whole of this country. and she said jeremy corbyn still had questions to answer on brexit. it is no good labour members burying their heads in their hands. we do not know whether their leader backs a second referendum. we do not know whether their leader backs a deal. we do not even know whether he backs brexit. he prefers ambiguity and playing politics to acting in the national interest. people used to say he was a conviction politician — not any more. earlier this week the prime minister's chief brexit negotiator olly robbins was overheard in a brussels bar saying he expected mps to be presented with a choice in march between her deal or a potentially very lengthy delay to brex

i have responded to questions from my right honourable friend on a number of occasions, and i had notmy opinion. some senior mps suggested brexit may have to be delayed. if she has failed to by the middle of march to persuade this house to back a deal, a seat belt ruling out extending article 50, yes or no? can i say to the right honourable lady, at the extension of article 50 is not something that solves the problem. if you doubt that the only way to solve the problem of no deal is to agree a deal. critics of the deal focused on the changes the prime minister is seeking. can she confirm that there is no point of having a time limit on the backstop and that it is written into the treaty itself? secondly, is the end date substantially before the general election? can i reassure my friend that i think as he already knows, i want to see the feature relationship coming in place, but it is beginning of 2021, that is well before the next general election. you can check out anything you like and you cannot leave... can the prime minister they give assurance that they can be no progress unles

right. if you go to the prison, you should not be in this house. the leader of the house. well, of course my honourableot acceptable for residents of peterborough that their member of parliament is unable to represent them, very physically unable to represent them but also is choosing not to do what i think all the members would say is the right thing to do. and andrea leadsom said that fiona onasa nya's constituents could force a by—election if herjail sentence is upheld on appeal. now a report this month from the housing and homelessness charity shelter argued that 3 million new social homes needed to be built over the next 20 years to deal with what are called the uk's housing crisis. in the lords, some of the problems were set out labour's lord. he said there were for many people on housing waiting list in both town and country. in london, the ratio of those households on the list of available property is actually 20—1. in central london, it's even higher. unless this is seen as a purely urban issue, the cpre estimate that in rural england, at the present rate, it will take 133 years to clear the c

well, my right honourable friend makes a very important point. e of earl baldwin to this day, people have looked to the conservative party to safeguard the welfare of the nation and to stamp out cruelty. and he is absolutely right that puppy smuggling is one of the vilest types of crimes against animals and that is why we have introduced a specific provision in order to ensure that it is only from properly—licensed breeders that individuals can find the companion animals that give all of us such joy in our lives. we all know the welfare of puppies is vitally important, but could he enlighten us today what his department is planning to do when it comes to stricter penalties for those that abuse young puppies? well, there are strict penalties available already but what we will be strengthening, the sentences for real attempts at animal cruelty to five years from six months. we are just waiting for the right timing, for the legislative vehicle to do that and i know in northern ireland, there is already strong standards in place. later in westminster

well, my right honourable friend makes a very important point. he's absolutely right., people have looked to the conservative party to safeguard the welfare of the nation and to stamp out cruelty. and he's absolutely right that puppy smuggling is one of the vilest types of crimes against animals and that is why we have introduced specific provisions in order to ensure that it is from appropriately—licensed breeders that individuals can find the companion animals that give all of us such joy in our lives. we all know the welfare of puppies is vitally important, but could he enlighten us today what his department is planning to do when it comes to stricter penalties for those that abuse young puppies? well, there are strict penalties available already but we will be strengthening the sentences for real attempts at animal cruelty to five years from six months. we're just waiting for the right time, for the legislative vehicle to do that, and i know in northern ireland, there are already strong standards in place. later in westminster hall, mps called for a total ban on th

i would like to hear from the right honourable gentleman that he gives equal respect to the opinions house, or if he fails to do that, it is contemptuous of this house. well, firstly, i absolutely respect votes of this house. tonight, members need to give the government time to make good on this work. as a house, we need to hold our nerve. to deliver a deal that addresses the twin risks of no deal and note brexit. —— no deal or no brexit. mr speaker, the secretary of state ended by saying we have to hold our nerve. he was all over the place this morning, all over the place on all of the important issues. order! when the key vote came, 66 conservative mps abstained. the ayes to the right, 258. the noes to the letter, 303. a government defeat by 45 votes. the vote shows there is no majority for the prime minister. yet again, her government has been defeated. that government cannot keep on ignoring parliament or ploughing on towards the 29th of march without a coherent plan. mr speaker, this is a significant defeat for the government. at the end of that day, the prime minister should be

does my right honourable friend share my disappointment that arklow shipping, a very major irish shipping and main backers of seaborne, have pulled away from this contract? but can he give assurances to counsel and local taxpayers that the cost of brexit contingency planning by keeping a state of readiness, that we are all happy to do, will not fall upon local taxpayers? mr speaker, i have to say that i share my honourable friend's disappointment. we are spending a lot of money on contingency planning in kent and resilience in kent. i personally regard the ports of ramsgate as an important part of that. he knows i have committed to continue to work with the council. i would like to see ferries come back to ramsgate. and whatever happens, we must make sure that we keep open the opportunities of ourfuture in my view. it is argued that seaborne accounts for 10% of services. if they didn't deliver, it didn't matter. especially when confronted with rules. a stunning new incompetence, as we have said, when will he go? last month, the minister came to this house and waxing lyrical about how he w

i don't try to tell the right honourable lady how to do herjob and i treat her with great courtesy andnue to do so. nobody is going to tell this speaker how to stand up for and persistently champion the rights of parliament. i have done it, i am doing it, and i'll go on doing it, and i couldn't care less who tries to obstruct me, that is the fact! that is the reality, that is the mission and responsibility of the speaker of the house of commons! the speaker, john bercow. you're watching thursday in parliament with me, david cornock. still to come — how can more women be persuaded to become firefighters? the venezuelan president nicolas maduro has faced international demands to give way tojuan guaido, who's head of the south american country's national assembly, amid mass protests. the uk and other european powers have recognised the opposition leader as the interim president of the country. a highway bridge across a colombia—venezuela border, which would reportedly be used to deliver humanitarian aid, has been blocked by tanker trucks on the venezulan side, according to media reports.

also suggests somehow that these kinds of decisions are arbitrary, but as i shared with the right honourablen each one of these decisions is taken incredibly seriously and the facts are weighed up on a case—by—case basis and anything but arbitrary. the young woman we are talking about is british and was radicalised in britain, daesh is a worldwide phenomenon, but she is our problem. why isn't the home secretary bringing her home to put her on trial here to be judged by a jury of her peers? do his actions dojustice to britain or to his own political ambitions? mr speaker, the honourable lady and i have had some dealings with her in the past and she is an wonderful women and i think she is a lot better than that question. a shadow minister has made an emotional apology to jewish people on behalf of his party. the shadow international trade secretary, barry gardiner, was speaking during a debate on anti—semitism. it came days after luciana berger became one of the mps to quit labour she said her decision was due in part to its failure to tackle the issue. how can it be that we are struggling so

by my right honourable friend for new forest west's standards, that was rather a long question.'s going to be a busy old year in the sporting world. this summer, the cricket world cup is being held once again in england and wales, where the tournament was first played aa years ago, while the ninth rugby world cup takes place injapan — surprisingly enough — from the end of september to the start of november. the world athletics championships are also taking place this autumn. but when mps came to take part in a broad debate on the state of sport in the uk, there were mentions of a great variety of sports. 0n the subject of women's sport, the gender gap between rewards in women's sport and men's sport is often reported on and is a serious problem. the bbc have reported that now, 83% of sports have better gender parity. but would the minister agree that seeing more women sports, like rugby union and rugby league, on television — and football — will help to close that gap? indeed. the honourable lady points out that 83% is getting there, but it's not good enough. and in fact, some o

from the way the right honourable gentleman talks, you would have thought that he would support them,, he has voted against them over a dozen times. and that is the reality, it's working people who always pay the price of labour. jeremy corbyn. now, one of mr corbyn‘s mps, chris williamson, is to be investigated for remarks about the party's handling of anti—semitism. the derby north mp claimed labour had "given too much ground" in the face of criticism over the issue. he later said he "deeply regretted" the remarks. a conservative raised what more could be done to tackle anti—semitism. we can never be too blase about anti—semitism. we can never be too tolerant of anti—semitism and the party opposite can never be too apologetic about anti—semitism. i think this sums up what we heard, labour under their leader. they lose the honourable member and keep the honourable member for derby north, and it tells you all you need to know about the labour leadership, present but not involved. and perhaps, perhaps, if the labour leader actually wants to take action against racism, he would suspend

and my right honourable friend the member for brooks knows! i can kindly ask her to not press her amendment. very grateful for the comments of the minister and i congratulate him, i think this is his first speech at the dispatch box. this seems a very sensible resolution. i was i've my position as follows, if those papers which i believe must be published, as others do, are not forthcoming, then i reserve the right to move an amendment on february the 27th or 28th, and i will do that unless we get those papers. but i am confident in this meeting we will identify them, they will be published and people will realise what a danger no deal is. i thank her. this afternoon continue the tradition of robust discussion on this fact, with such a degree of discussion only appropriate for such national significance. as you would expect, the government is following the direction delivered by the house on the 29th of january to return to the eu to seek legally binding changes to the backstop. this house has instructed the government on how to proceed and we

whatever the rationale behind this decision and despite my right honourable friend's considerable effortsming that nissan is committed to sunderland. they will be no job losses, he says, at the plant, but he did say for hundred and 71 new jobs that they expected would come to sunderland to build the next real, those jobs will not come in sunderland. he also said that the company had had a review, it had invested money in sunderland in 2016 but after a global review, the capital it would have needed to build the car in sunderland was requested elsewhere in the company. let's get some thoughts on that from the vice president of the north east england chamber of commerce. apologies for my voice, it is almost giving up, but let me put to you what greg clark said there, there will be nojob what greg clark said there, there will be no job losses what greg clark said there, there will be nojob losses in what greg clark said there, there will be no job losses in sunderland and that nissan is committed to the plant. i speak in my personal capacity, however, idon't plant. i speak in my personal cap
