Michael Fabricant’s comments come after MPs launched a bid to prevent the country leaving the European Union without a deal on 31st October.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he will call a snap General Election if the vote succeeds.

Mr Fabricant said: “If the Speaker bends the rules again and allows a vote on whether or not to make a No Deal Brexit unlawful, I shall wholeheartedly support the Government. 

“As Theresa May has said in the past ‘you have to keep a no deal Brexit on the table in order to negotiate a good deal’.

“The only MPs trying to tie the hands of the Government are the opposition – because that’s what they do – and a few Conservative MPs who never really believed in Brexit in the first place.

“Boris Johnson won the overwhelming support of Conservative MPs and Party Members just a few weeks’ ago on the firm commitment to leave the EU on 31st October 31. 

“We have waited long enough for this and I will not be one to thwart this.”
