JOHN BERCOW had to defend his decision to bring back to the table the option of a customs union with the European Union for a second-round of indicative votes despite the motion having been rejected last week.
Greg Hands blasted John Bercow after the Speaker of the House announced he would allow Parliament to cast a vote on forming a new customs union as part of a series of Brexit indicative votes. Mr Hands questioned the decision to bring back the option despite MPs having rejected the plan last week as he pointed out the Speaker had rejected demands from Theresa May to have her proposed Brexit deal brought back to the chamber for a third time before March 29.
