Speeches and contributions
Will Quince did not make any contributions to debates in Parliament this week.
Votes
Will Quince voted six times this week, all of these votes were on issues relating to Brexit. The first vote was on the Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Bill and all subsequent ones were cast on the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.
His first vote came on Monday and was against a proposed amendment to the Taxation (Cross-Border Trade) Bill that would have made it so goods from the European Union would not be included in a new customs regime put in place when the UK leaves the EU. Mr Quince voted with the majority and was loyal to the government.
His second vote, and all subsequent voted for this week, came on Tuesday. He voted against a proposed new clause to the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill that would have ensured Parliament remained informed of changes in EU and European Economic Area provisions and what changes they might have made to UK laws around family-friendly employment rights and gender equality. Mr Quince voted with the majority and was loyal to the government.
In his third vote of the week Mr Quince voted against a proposed amendment that would have removed the exclusion of the Charter of Fundamental Rights from law retained once the UK leaves the EU. Mr Quince voted with the majority and was loyal to the government.
His fourth vote was one against a proposed new amendment that would have made it so the Bill retained existing principles of EU law within domestic law. Mr Quince voted with the majority and was loyal to the government.
His fifth vote of the week was a vote against a proposed amendment that would have made it so the right to obtain damages from government failures to comply with EU obligations would extend after exit day if said failures were made before exit day. Mr Quince voted with the majority and was loyal to the government.
And in his sixth and final vote of the week Will Quince voted for Schedule One of the Bill being the schedule it follows once enacted. Mr Quince voted with the majority and was loyal to the government.
