'We're leaving!' May blasts Lib Dem in PMQs saying Brexit Britain will quit fishery policy
THERESA MAY blasted a Liberal Democrat MP during PMQs saying Britain will quit the Common Fisheries Policy as part of Brexit.
Theresa May: UK will NOT stay in common fisheries policy
The Prime Minister held no prisoners as she said leaving the European Union meant exiting the Brussels bloc's fisheries policy.
Alistair Carmichael, MP for Orkney and Shetland, asked whether the UK would remain part of the agreement during its transitional period after Brexit in March 2019.
He said: “Is it the Prime Minister’s intention that the United Kingdom should remain part of the Common Fisheries Policy during any transitional period after we have left the European Union?”
But Theresa May hit back and said Britain would definitely leave the agreement.
Theresa May said Brexit Britain would be leaving the Common Fisheries Policy
When we leave the European Union, we will be leaving the Common Fisheries Policy
She said: “When we leave the European Union, we will be leaving the Common Fisheries Policy.
"As part of the agreement that we need to enter for the implementation period, obviously this and other issues will be part of that agreement.
“But when we leave the European Union, we will leave the Common Fisheries Policy.”
The Prime Minister was quizzed about how she would vote in a second EU Referendum - but pointed out that is not happening.
Last night Mrs May, who backed Remain in last year's EU Referendum, was repeatedly questioned on how she would vote if there was another Brexit vote now.
She told LBC radio: "I don't answer hypothetical questions."
The Prime Minister again pointed out there is no further referendum - and there will not be.
