-

Burnham-On-Sea’s MP James Heappey took part in a series of House of Commons votes on Wednesday (March 27th) when eight different Brexit options were on the table.

He voted on several options, including leaving without a deal, revoking Britain’s departure from the European Union, and seeking a customs union.

Here’s how MP James Heappey voted on Wednesday:

  • Did not vote on No-deal: Leaving the EU on 12 April without a deal (John Baron’s proposal – 160 for, 400 against)
  • Against Common Market 2.0: Remaining in the European single market and seeking a temporary customs union with the EU (Nick Boles’ proposal – 188 for, 283 against)
  • Against EFTA and EEA: Remaining in the European single market but not forming a customs union with the EU (George Eustice’s proposal – 65 for, 377 against)
  • Against Customs union: Seeking a UK-wide customs union with the EU (Ken Clarke’s proposal – 264 for, 272 against)
  • Against Labour’s alternative plan: Negotiating changes to the withdrawal agreement so that it includes protections to workers’ rights, a permanent customs union, and close alignment to the single market (Jeremy Corbyn’s proposal – 237 for, 307 against)
  • Against Revoke Article 50: Cancelling Brexit if the UK gets within days of leaving the EU without a deal (Joanna Cherry’s proposal – 184 for, 293 against)
  • Against Second referendum:  Holding another public vote to confirm any withdrawal agreement agreed by Parliament (Margaret Beckett’s proposal – 268 for, 295 against)
  • Did not vote on Standstill arrangement: Seeking a tariff-free trade agreement with the EU that will last for two years, during which time Britain will contribute to the EU budget (Marcus Fysh’s proposal – 139 for, 422 against)

None of the proposals earned a majority of parliamentary support, but a further day of debate on the most popular options is scheduled to take place in the Commons on Monday.
