Why I'm supporting Brexit trade deal and why it's good for Scottish fishing - John Lamont

I will support this agreement today.

I believe everyone who wants the United Kingdom to flourish in the years ahead should do the same.

Because this vote is not about the arguments of the past; it is about the opportunities of the future.

I want to make three brief points.

First, about trade and jobs.

Protecting the livelihoods of the people who send us here should be central to any economic debate.

This agreement provides for the first zero-tariff, zero-quota free trade agreement in the EU’s history.
