‘The promise that we would keep the benefits of being in the EU, plus extras, and sovereignty… was simply untrue’
A Westminster Hall debate was held, prompted by an e-petition calling for a public enquiry into Brexit as the ‘promises have not been delivered’.
MPs mainly showed their support for this enquiry, as the room was made up of ‘remainers’, with just two pro-Brexit MPs in attendance.
Labour MP Hilary Benn said the promise that we would keep our EU benefits, with added perks, was ‘simply untrue’ which was ‘unforgivable’.
