UK-EU customs union (duty to negotiate): Ten Minute Rule Motion

What this vote was about

This motion sought leave to introduce a Bill placing a legal duty on the Secretary of State to open negotiations with the European Union to agree a UK-EU customs union. It was moved under the Ten Minute Rule by Dr Al Pinkerton (Liberal Democrat), who argued that leaving the EU had damaged trade and the economy and that a customs union would reduce barriers with the UK's largest market; it was opposed by Simon Hoare (Conservative). MPs divided 100 to 100, and the Deputy Speaker cast her vote with the Ayes in line with precedent to allow further debate, so leave was given and the Bill was ordered to be brought in.
