Watch: Huw questions the Foreign Secretary on the Brexit negotiations

Huw

On the first day back after Parliamentary recess I questioned the Foreign Secretary on whether we have the resources to negotiate a good deal to leave the EU. The Foreign Secretary assured me that resources had been strengthened and increased in Brussels and across the capitals of the 27 EU member states with a commitment to leave at the end of October.

Watch below our exchange below:

 

 

I later followed this up with another question seeking further reassurance that we not only have the resources needed but are also spending more time in negotiations.
