First-time Brexit debate involves discussions on its aftermath as MPs deliberate.

MPs held a three-hour long debate in Westminster Hall regarding the consequences of Brexit, marking the first time since Britain left the European Union. The debate was called after 183,000 people signed a petition requesting for a public inquiry to be conducted into the effects of leaving the European Union. Critics have expressed their belief that the decision to leave has been an “unmitigated disaster”. The government has maintained that Brexit was a “democratic choice”, and that it is not suitable for a public inquiry.
