Statement following Supreme Court Prorogation Ruling

  • Tweet
Tuesday, 24 September, 2019
John Lamont MP

Today's ruling shows how robust the constitution of our United Kingdom is and the important role Scotland plays in that structure.

While I completely respect the role and independence of the judiciary, I remain of the view that prorogation was appropriate and reasonable step.

MPs have repeatedly had their say on Brexit, most recently by passing yet another piece of legislation. Parliament then entered the conference recess, as we do every year and only a few sitting days were lost.

Nevertheless, Parliament will now be sitting this week and I will be making the journey down to London.

I’d much rather be in the Borders speaking to my constituents and visiting local businesses and community groups.

I am sorry to my constituents whose meetings this week will now need to be rearranged.

Brexit

Brexit is one of the most important decisions that the UK has made and it is important that politicians get it right.

I campaigned and voted for the UK to remain part of the EU. However, I accept the result of the UK wide vote and believe it is the UK Parliament's job to implement this decision, as voters were promised would happen ahead of the vote.
