NEW Forest MP Sir Desmond Swayne questioned if the United Kingdom’s impending withdrawal from the European Union will be “recognisable”.

The Conservative politician spoke out during a debate in the House of Commons on Monday, which reflected on last week’s European Council meeting.

Sir Desmond, who represents the New Forest West constituency, asked Prime Minister Theresa May “will Brexit be recognisable as Brexit?”

Mrs May said: “There has been much jocularity around the term “Brexit means Brexit,” but it does mean Brexit.

“People want to ensure that we take back control of our borders and our laws, and that we no longer continue to send vast sums of money to the European Union each year.”

“We will be coming out of the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy, but we will be ensuring that we are able to trade with the European Union and set an independent trade policy that enables us to negotiate good trade deals around the rest of the world.”
