Boris Johnson urges MPs not to 'frustrate' Brexit processpublished at 11:46 Greenwich Mean Time 6 February 2017
Boris Johnson has warned MPs against seeking to "frustrate the will of the people" as they pore over the Article 50 bill.
Ahead of the committee stage of the bill needed to trigger formal Brexit talks, the foreign secretary said there would be "abundant votes" on the subject over the coming weeks and months but the bottom line was that a "convincing majority" of the people had voted to leave the EU last year.
It was, he added, the government's job to give effect to that "clearly expressed" view.
