ireland how many want to be in the united kingdom. because the reality is is that there is a very large number of people in northern ireland who are british who value their connection with the the rest of the united kingdom and therefore i think would need to happen is a lot of discussion in advance about an agreed arland about agreeing what type of future arrangements would apply on the island so i think that that is a discussion that requires a lot of consideration i think it needs to be a very reasoned discussion and it's probably one that i think would have to take place over a period of time there are a lot of issues involved in this at the center of the issues are what was really at the center of the conflict which was the the two national identities that are in northern ireland. there's an irish identity people who consider themselves our issue old irish passports and people who consider themselves british and evaluate the connection with the united kingdom so that's something that just cannot be resolved by a simple headcount

i love the united kingdom and all it stands for. i will fight with everything i have to keep us together. and so i want to be clear to everyone listening, there can be no complacency about the results of this referendum. the outcome is still up in the air and we have just seven months to go. seven months to do all we can to keep the united kingdom as one. seven months to save the most extraordinary country in history and we must do whatever it takes so to everyone in england, wales and northern ireland, everyone like me who cares about the united kingdom want to say this. you don't have a vote but you do have a voice. those voting are our friends, our neighbors and her family. you do have an influence. so get on the phone, get together e-mail tweet and speak. the let the message rang out from manchester to motherwell from pembrokeshire to perth from belfast to ute from us to the people of scotland. let the message be this, we want you to stay. think of what we have done together, what we can do together, what we stand for together.

or so in the united kingdom. inside number 10, david cameron, the prime minister of the united kingdom, who fought hard on the remain side. he staked his political future on it. he has now lost. we're expecting to hear from him sometime shortly. >> i'm certain he's awake at 5:00 a.m. >> i think this is an all nighter for him. the folks up until an hour ago, very close confidence they're going to win this. on the right side of the screen is boris johnson, the former mayor of london, a conservative member one of the big voices in the leave campaign. you can imagine the two moods inside those houses. >> there is an expert on earlier saying boris could take on some of the leadership role in this if david cameron has to step away. >> easily could become the prime minister. so bring you back to how history tends to rhyme once p a while. you had margaret thatcher come in followed by president reagan's election. give us a sense are we seeing this populst revolution there with this leave the eu vote? how that factors into

the united kingdom data be reformed. her majesty's government will continue to champion international trade delivering jobs across the country and growing the economy. legislation will be introduced to enable the implementation of the united kingdom's first new free since leaving the european union. her magistrate ministers will encourage agricultural and innovation at home, legislation will unlock the potential of new technologies on efficient farming and food production. her majesty's government will protect the integrity of the united kingdom's borders and ensure the safety of its people. her majesty's will take action to prevent dangerous and illegal crossings and tackle criminal gangs profit from facilitating them. legislation will be introduced to ensure the police have the powers to make the streets safer. a bill will be brought forward to further strengthen power reduce economic crime and help businesses grow. measures will be introduced to support the security services and help them protect united kingdom. : : :

of united kingdom. he refers to the issue of scottish independence and its impact on membership to the european union. it is the case and the european union has reinforced the doctrine that if scotland were to -- [shouting] they seem to find it amusing,, but just want everybody the doctrine is it scotland were to become independent from the united kingdom and it had voted for independence in 2014 then they would've ceased to be a member of the european union. we will be, we will be insuring, we'll be ensuring that the substance of the deal that we achieved, the substance of the deal that we achieved, and i'm interested in the outcomes of this deal will be the best possible deal for the people of the whole of the united kingdom. he talks about democratic representation and democratic responsibility. perhaps the scottish government might like to consider announcer: that same day we also heard from european council president tusk leave a brief statement in brussels on the u.k. decision to officially begin

but also the people of the whole united kingdom. he also talked about whether or not there was discussion with the european council for the negotiations on article 50. very early on in my statement we discussed the migration to the instability in the balkans and the measures needed to boost the competitiveness. we focused on those issues and i would suggest for the uniteds kingdom including the jobs which as i said it matter to the people of scotland, and he talks about a single market and thee importance of access to the single market in the european union. i would remind him and hisnt colleagues again that the mostfo important single market for scotland is the market -- >> we have seen the value rush to stay on the continent and isn't it a strong plea in the economic interest of our partners to accept our generous offer continuing the tariff free trade on the same basis as i think today? >> my honorable friend made an important point..u it is the nationals in the uk and also the question of the trade relationship that we havee in

we haven't achieved an agreement with the united kingdom. the u.k. prime minister got the most he could obtain and other members states offered him as much as they could offer which leads me to say that the deal with the u.k. is fair, balanced and complies with the great principles of the european union and takes into account the concerns and suggestions of the united kingdom. i therefore think the british people, which through the course of history have proven their wisdom and courage time and again, we say yes to the arrangements we have arrived at with the united kingdom. the commission, from the day the british people approved will pass legislative texts to parliament and council. in particular with regard to the social aspects of the agreement arrived at with the united kingdom. that juncture, the legislative proposals from the commission will come to you as soon as they have been tabled in german. we look at the refugees and migration issues. won't have escaped you that the european council confirmed with the european council decided in princip

united kingdom. that is why we have been working administration including the scottish government, listening to their proposals, and recognizing the many areas of common ground that we have such as protecting workers' rights and our security from crime and terrorism. so mr. speaker, this is not a moment to play politics or reate uncertainty. it is a moment to bring our country together. to honor the will of the british people. and to shache for them a better, brighter future and a better britain and i commend this statement to the house. >> jeremy corbin. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i would like to thank the prime minister for an advance copy of this statement. withdrawal ion of act marks a historic step. late they are month the triggering of article 50 a process that will shape this country's future there is no doubt that it's a -- if the wrong decisions are made we will pay the price for decades to come. so now more than ever britain needs an inclusive government that listens and acts accordingly. h

to ensure the benefits of a prospering economy reach every corner of the united kingdom, my ministers will bring forward a national infrastructure strategy to set out a long-term vision to improve the nation's digital transport and energy infrastructure. new legislation will help accelerate the delivery of fast, reliable, and secure broadband networks to millions of homes. an aviation bill will provide for the effective and efficient management of the united kingdom's air space. proposals on railway reform will be brought forward. a white paper will be published to set out my government's ambitions for unleashing regional potential in england and to enable decisions that affect local people to be made at a local level. my government is committed to establishing the united kingdom as a world leader in scientific capability and space technology. increased investment in science will be complemented by the development of a new funding agency and an ambitious national space strategy. my ministers remain committed to protecting and maintaining the environment for future generations. for the

is that i believe for the greater good of the united kingdom. i said a few moments ago i do not, i posted from the beginning without a single government and that's why won't work properly. that said all said all along that i would support integration , including the united kingdom if i'm satisfied that the united kingdom's disparity or security, for the quality of life of the people of the united kingdom would be advance. as as for example climate change policy or environmental policy. >> i want to go on to my next question. a further example of, you went on to say that it was essential in france, the netherlands and germany and other, my question to us we may have similar interests or other european countries, why does this require us to be part of a supranational body that negotiates is one? >> let me give you an example. when the near nuclear reactor's bloated sadly when it comes to problems of environmental pollution they do not respect national borders. the only way it was to be protected from happening again is by international agreements

kingdom were between the european union and the united kingdom i think that that's a factor that would come into play but again i think it comes back to a question of want to arrangements what type of vision do we have in our land for the future of our island and i think that that is a discussion that has to take place between the people who live on the island and that includes the people who was identity is british this is a very careful discussion that has to take place i think over over a period of time i think it's back on the agenda much earlier stage than anybody expected because of the decision of the united kingdom to to leave the european union nevertheless i think it is a discussion that cannot be rushed that has to look out all of the aspects identity cultural aspects economic aspects the arrangement future arrangements within the the island of ireland relationship with the european union relationship with the united kingdom it's a complex issue that i don't think can be rushed i think it needs time needs to be take. and with that and i think it requires a lot of very sensib

the point at which the united kingdom left the e.u. because of course your hope premise that you are advancing is somehow u.k.'s prosperity is utterly dependent upon one relationship that relationship we have with the european union in fact we've been increasing our trade with the rest of the world despite the fact we're not in a single market relationship and you have the big promise from the usa if i may just finish finish the point and the trade we've done with the european union has been declining as a proportion so since the single market came into existence in one thousand nine hundred three we've grown exports the european union by eighteen percent we've grown exports the rest the world by seventy percent how do we do it we're trading on w. toe terms of the rest of the world we're trading across customs frontiers the fact is the future of the united kingdom does not depend on our future prosperity is not depend on membership in the european union the european union is the slow lane of the developed world it's the high unemployme

my government's priority has always been to secure the united kingdom's departure from the european union on the 31st of october. my government intends to work towards a new partnership with the european union based on free trade and friendly cooperation. my ministers will work to implement new regimes for fisheries, agriculture and trade , seizing the opportunities that arise from leaving the european union. an immigration bill ending free movement will lay the foundation for a fair and modern and global immigration system. my government remains committed to ensuring that resident european citizens who is have built their lives in and contributed so much do the united kingdom have the right to remain. the bill will include measures that reinforce this commitment. steps will be taken to provide certainty, stability and new opportunities for the financial services and legal sectors. my government's new economic plan will be underpinned by a responsible fiscal strategy, investing in economic growth while maintaining the sustainability of the public finances. measures will be brought forward

kingdom notified its intentions to leave the european union. 477 ago, -- in 477 days, the united kingdom will do just that. i will always be sad about this development. but now we have to start looking to the future. the future in which the united kingdom will remain a close friend and ally. the prime minister and i discussed the need for a transition period. we dedicated much of our meeting to a joint vision. t is crucial for us all that we continue working closely together on issues such as trade, research, security, and thers. we will take things one step at a time. starting with next week's european council. but today, i am hopeful we are now moving to the second phase of this challenging negotiation. we can do this jointly on the basis of trust, renewed trust, determination, and with the perspective of a renewed friendship. prime minister may: thank you. thank you, jean-claude. we have been working extremely hard this week to read and as you have seen, it hasn't been asy for either side. when we met on monday, we said a deal was within reach. what we have arrived at today represents

the united states -- the united kingdom does not have a written constitution. in canada, all federal states must agree to a proposal in regards to the monarchy. so protection is not unknown. i'm heartened that -- have both support of wales and northern ireland. in 2013, there was a 46% to summation of scottish imports and 3000 jobs depend on that. there are frustrations with the eu, they need reform, the solidarity needs to be given much better respect. the importance given to subsidiarity in the lisbon treaty, we need to tend to -- we need clarification on how the relationship between countries within the eu and outside should work to ensure that the interests of those outside are protected. but one thing to reform from within, we must be perceived -- last week we heard evidence that negotiations may not be straightforward. professor keating said in relation to welfare benefits, if britain is going to restrict things there will be action against british citizens elsewhere. dr. daniel can you said, if there is a dollars between the u.k. and europe about reformi

trade deal with united kingdom? >> yes, i echo the comments of my honorable friend. i am pleased that has been reiterated was an issue in fact i discussed with the deputy prints, and the police the gcc are in that position, too. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i think the prime minister for statement and for early sight of the. australia today has joined america at the g20 last week in slopping our government telling us what are, in fact, at the back of the queue or a trade deal. the plain fact is that this government is not concealing its hand. it hasn't got a hand or it would appear a clue. so will they prime minister take this opportunity to reassure business and confirm that we will remain a member of the european single market? will she agreed that we trusted the british people with a question of our departure so we should trust them with the question of our destination? and for whatever deal she negotiates to the british people in a referendum. >> can i say to the honorable gentleman, he referred to the marks been

do the english want them to stay in the united kingdom? the polling is in two weeks, and scottish public opinion is closely divided. >> should scotland be an independent country? in just two weeks, more than 4 million voters will have the chance to either check the box yes, or not. scottish governments first minister alex salmon is leading the crusade for the yes campaign. >> few societies anywhere have secured this opportunity. to vote themselves -- this is an opportunity peacefully, and a process agreed andeen agreed and consented. it is an opportunity which may not come our way again. >> alster darling head of the better together campaign, is arguing for keeping the status quo. we do not need to divide these islands into separate states in order to assert our identity. we can have the best worlds with more decisions become taken here, backed up by the united kingdom. >> according to the b. b. c., throughout 2013, better together led strongly in the polls by an estimated 50% to 33%. now, the gap is dramatically narrowed, this week, the p

what we want is the right deal for the united kingdom. i remind the right honourable gentleman that over 80% of people who voted in the recent election voted for parties committed to taking the united kingdom out of the european union. over80% to taking the united kingdom out of the european union. over 80% voted for parties that wanted to take the united kingdom out of the european union. we have made a fair and serious offer. i believe it's a generous offer. there is one way in which it is different from the offer that the european union has put and that the european union has put and thatis that the european union has put and that is about the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice and when people voted in the referendum la st when people voted in the referendum last year, they voted to ensure that we stopped the jurisdiction of the european court of justice we stopped the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice here in the uk. thank you mr speaker. may i congratulation my right honourable friend on the very comprehensive of

of united kingdom. he refers to the issue of scottish independence and its impact on membership to the european union. it is the case and the european union has reinforced the doctrine that if scotland were to -- [shouting] they seem to find it amusing,, but just want everybody the doctrine is it scotland were to become independent from the united kingdom and it had voted for independence in 2014 then they would've ceased to be a member of the european union. we will be, we will be insuring, we'll be ensuring that the substance of the deal that we achieved, the substance of the deal that we achieved, and i'm interested in the outcomes of this deal will be the best possible deal for the people of the whole of the united kingdom. he talks about democratic representation and democratic responsibility. perhaps the scottish government might like to consider why it is not part -- it is not passed a single piece of legislation here. >> i welcome all the prime ministers words in letter and her speech will be th

the integrity and prosperity of the union that binds the four nations of the united kingdom is of the utmost importance to my government. my ministers will bring forward measures to support citizens across all the nations of the united kingdom. my government remains committed to working with all parties in northern ireland to support the return of government and to address the legacy of the past. my government will take steps to protect the integrity of democracy and the electoral system in the united kingdom. my government will continue to invest in our gallant armed forces. my ministers will honor the armed forces covenant and the nato commitment to spend at least 2% of national income on defense. as the united kingdom leaves the european union, my government will ensure that it continues to play a leading role in global affairs, defending its interests and promoting its values. my government will be at the forefront of efforts to solve the most complex international security issues. it will champion global free trade and work alongside international partners to solve the most press

the united kingdom. thank you, >> thank you mr. speaker. the leader of the opposition. for decades they went with us over and over again.ain, today, mr. speaker is a historic day in day. that at the very heart of this letter lies the democratic decision in the referendum ofin u.k. voters given to them by an act of parliament enabling the british people to regain that right to govern themselves. so which people thought and guide over generations.tions? there's a massive majority ofrio 372 in the house of commons onhf the third reading. trading corporation yes, european parliaments, no. >> i think i can give my friends the reassurance that they seeks. if i quote from an opening paragraph of my letter. the very first line as he reaffirms of the 23rd of june last year the united kingdom voted to leave the union. i go on to say that we do want the european union to succeedt and prosper. as the vote was not a rejection that we share with fellow europeans. instead, the referendum was about to restore as we see

united kingdom was shocked. the world was shocked. and the kingdom of the nejerl d netherlands was shocked. our government has strongly condemned the attack and expressed solidarity with the united kingdom. people in netherlands feel for sergey skripal and all affected. we understand why this new incident is particularly painful for the p people of the united kingdom. who still have vivid memories of the brutal memory with the use of radio active polonium in the heart of london. now the united kingdom finds it s self confronted with a new case. full details are yet to be determined but one thing is beyond doubt already, no state can or should accept attacks taking place on the sovereign territory. the united kingdom can count on the full solidarity of the kingdom of the netherlands. my second point is use aftof a chemical weapon. we express great concern of the type of weep yob used in this attack, military grade nerve e agent. sunstance that no regular criminal can easily get his hand on. first time since the end of the second world

the e.u. 27 and for the united kingdom. but it is very far from the worst deal for the u.k. if there was no root to a future free trading arrangement with the european union. the deal is not in the gift either of her government, however hard they are trying to deliver it, or of this parliament but of course the european parliament and our partners. so no deal remains a real possibility. it seems that her government is now preparing and departments are preparing for it. will that preparation include the opportunity for individuals and businesses to be able to make their own dispositions in that possibility? >> first of all, i was clear in the lancaster house speech that no deal was better than a bad deal. i'm optimistic we will be able to negotiate a good deal. my good friend is right of course, there are other parties to this, there will be a negotiation about that trade arrangement and in coming to that trade arrangement, in coming to that agreement, i can assure him that i and others across the parliament, the secretary o

and i can give her the assurance that the united kingdom that the united kingdom will leave the european union in the 29th of march, 2019. >> last friday during parliament i visited saint elizabeth's school in my constituency to meet with the school council. the children told me the rising crime levels and falling police officer numbers have made them fearful of using and enjoying their local parks. i visited sat elizabeth's school in my the one near their school. can the prime minister tell the council, and they may be listening today what strategy , the government is deploying to ensure that all young people are safe from crime on our streets and in our public spaces? >> the honorable lady raises an important we want young people point. to be able to feel secure walking to the streets or if they are in a park and gathering with their friends. what we need to do looking at the concern that was expressed about crime, and particularly, the concern about knife crime and levels of knife crime is tackled in a number of different ways across the board. it is about ensuring we have the right p

what does that mean for the united kingdom's security? ms. patel: first and foremost, we have to look back over the last 20 years and the incredible work. we should never lose sight of the incredible work and the enormous sacrifices that have been made around afghanistan. we have seen service personnel from the united states, u.k., and other allies as well lose life. we have seen loss of life from service people to bring about stability, but ultimately to squash and eradicate that ability to attack within afghanistan. in 20 years things have absolutely changed and we have been part of that huge evacuation effort we saw in the summer, which was just extraordinary, and deeply troubling and traumatic for those involved, the whole evacuation program. but the reality, as i said already, we cannot stand still, we cannot be complacent. we will see new challenges within the region, and the fact of the matter is, yes, our presence is no longer in afghanistan, but it will not stop us from working with coalition partners in the region to absolutely ensu

the united kingdom will no longer be a part of that. consequence is that you will probably have to negotiate a new trade arrangement between the united kingdom and the united states because the trading terms will not be identical after the u.k. leaves. there will be some consequences indeed. say five orhe road 10 years from now the u.k. wants to rejoin the european union and they want to get the marriage back together again, can they do so? guest: site elizabeth taylor and richard burton. [laughter] host: quite an analogy. she got married and divorced him and his times? -- how many times? guest: united kingdom remains a democratic country which meets all the criteria for militia. if they were to change their mind, they of course would be able to reapply. there would have to be an examination of that application. it would remain to be seen whether that could be accepted. that option is always there. as the prime minister said in her speech, i think there's a strong feeling that at least for the foreseeable future that this decision.versi

market of the united kingdom. i think we share those aims. mr. speaker: douglas ross! ross the prime minister will be : aware of scottish report issued yesterday, that up to one million consumers pay 30% more to parcels delivered in the rest of the country. in my constituency this is a huge issue. the ridiculous prices for them to be delivered to our area. in some cases companies refuse to deliver at all can you tell me what the u.k. government can do to ensure we write this wrong once and for all? prime minister: my honorable friend is right to raise this issue and speak up for his constituents in this way. i'm sure he knows we provide the united postal service five days a week at a uniform price. but there are commercial issues at play outside this service. but i'm sure the business secretary would be happy to meet with him and discuss the issue. the recognition by donald trump of jerusalem as the capital of israel will do grave damage to the prospects for a just and lasting peace settlement between israelis and

united kingdom the recent weeks, and is now the second highest level and the united kingdom's approach to terrorism of all kinds takes place under four main work streams, prevent, precede, protect, and prepare and induce science to this department largely unsung work of the united kingdom counterterrorism agency since 2017. thirty-one and the lack of the stages have been foiled in the threats we face today, have caused change but they can pay out on the battleground all in the bedroom. assist in the sophistication is changing the way we must all act to defend ourselves and all securityll issues, and terrorism becomes more complex so are responding to become more sophisticated and nuanced and costly striving to join our approach and strengthen our domestic and collective resilience in response bit serious that we are setting up our efforts and strengthen our ecapabilities to disrupt those who seek to radicalize others to violence and terrorism. in working with policing and other experts and a picture of a possible threat to society and i will continue to use every tool and every lever a

-united kingdom trade agreement. as he speak, i think president trump and prime minister may are doing their press conference after their meeting today, but does this change the eu's calculus at all or how does this impact how the eu is looking at this next stage of negotiations? michel: elizabeth, i am charged with the e.u. negotiations for the brexit of the u.k. and i am in charge of the negotiations with the uk. eu/uk. uk/eu. elizabeth: i get that. [laughter] michel:so it's not my role to comment on going declarations just for right now, there is a press conference between president trump and theresa may. i don't want to comment. as a matter of fact, factually i can just say that the rule is clear and well known by everybody, including the uk because we have elaborated this rule with the uk for 44 years. we are working on the basis of -- as i just said in my speech, an ambitious free trade agreement with the u.k. for two grilli, as we did with canada in the last few months. as far as the trade policy is concerned,

and a passionate belief in our united kingdom. so i have to tell the prime minister that i agree with the people who are deeply unhappy by the proposed e.u. deal, which they believe does not represent the brexit they voted for. will she now even at this late stage please think again and instead lead our country in a new direction completely cutting away the tentacles of he e.u. over our cherished island nation once and for all? >> i say to my honorable friend i think the people across the country who voted to leave the european union voted to bring an end to free movement. they voted to bring an end of .he european court of justice our deal ends that. they voted to stop sending vast sums of money to the european union every year so we could spend that money on our priorities, and we will be able to do that. priorities like the national health sflts. but the european union remains a close trading partner to the unite the kingdom. as we leave, we want to ensure we have a good trading relationship with the european union, and we will

the united kingdom has to accept the consequences, the united kingdom has to accept the consequences, and if we want to build a new relationship, there needs to be trust, but there also needs to be trust, but there also needs to be more realism about what's possible and what not possible. so, ladies and gentlemen, we have two working weeks left before the european council at the end ofjune, and i hope we will put them to good use, to consolidate progress and make further progress in these difficult, context negotiations. i am in these difficult, context negotiations. lam happy in these difficult, context negotiations. i am happy to take any questions. i will start here and then move over there. gibran still from the financial times. mr barnier, i know you said you are analysing the uk paper, but you also seem to have ruled out a core part of it, because you have said it is not feasible for the whole of the united kingdom to stay in a customs territory, a joint customs territory with the eu. doesn't that mean effectively you are rolling out the whole ethos of what the uk is proposing?

pence: well, look, the united states of america respect the sovereignty of the united kingdom, and the decision of. the united kingdom to withdraw from the european union at the same time, we going to theinue to affirm ar central importance of the good friday agreement. peace an historic agreement that brought an end to violence and the republic of ireland and northern linireland. we all grew up watching that hardship, the loss of life. and that was brought to an end. and i remain confident that if both parties will come to the table and negotiate in good faith, we truly believe that by the end of october, the deadline can be met with brexit. >> do you have a reaction to what is going on in the u.k. with prime minister johnson? vice pres. pence: i will have more to say about that in a day or two. >> in terms of one of the ideas that have been flooded is that three-month delays of the deadline for brexit. given the situation that is so in flux, d think that might be a good option? vice pres. pence: i wouldn't care to comment. what we want to do is be very respectful of the sovereignty o

and a passionate belief in our united kingdom. i have to tell the prime minister i agree with the people who are unhappy by the proposed deal which they believe does not they votedhe brexit for. will she now at this late stage think again and instead lead our country in a new direction, completely cutting away the tentacles of the eu over our cherished island nation once and for all? >> i think my honorable friend. i think people across the country who voted to leave voted to bring an end to free movement . they voted to bring an end to the court of justice in the u.k. . we deliver that. for the money on our priorities. we will be able to do that. priorities like the national health service. but the european union remains a close trading partner to the united kingdom. as we leave, we want to ensure we have a good trading relationship with the european union, and we will be able to have an independent trade policy that enables us to make decisions to trade around the rest of the world. my honorable friend is a passionate champion o

we stand up for the united kingdom, the whole of the united kingdom, the integrity of the united kingdom, or we vote for a vasyl state with the breakup of the united kingdom. the speaker: prime minister. prime minister may: can i say -- i will respond to the right honorable gentleman. and he is right. he and i have had many discussions on this issue. and i hope that we will continue to be able to have many discussions on this issue. we have been ensuring throughout the negotiations that the issue of the border in northern ireland has been one of the key issues that we have been addressing. he refers to the commitments i made in terms of northern ireland and the future relationship. those commitments remain absolutely. we are looking to ensure that we have that frictionless trade across borders, that both will enable not only us to deliver on our commitment for northern ireland, but will also enable us to ensure that we have that fictionless trade between the united kingdom and the european union, and the whole of the rest of the european union as well. i believe that, and there are many

and to make the most of the opportunities this brings all the people of the united kingdom. thereafter, my ministers will seek a future relationship with the european union, based on a free trade agreement that benefits the whole of the united kingdom. we will also begin trade negotiations with other leading global economists. the integrity and prosperity of the united kingdom's of the utmost importance to my government. my ministers will work urgently to facilitate talks to restore the government in northern ireland. the government will embark on an ambitious program of domestic reform that delivers on the people's priorities. for the first time the national health services multi-year funding settlement agreed earlier this year will be .nshrined in law steps will be taken to grow and support the national health services workforce. and a new visa will ensure qualified doctors and health professionals have fast-track entry to the united kingdom. hospital car parking charges will be removed for those in greatest need. consensusrs will seek and proposal for a long time reform o

i think we can do it. >> we're part of the united kingdom. i think we should stay that way. >> reporter: british prime minister david cameron traveled north. >> i would be heartbroken if this family of nations that we've put together and we've done such amazing things together, if this family of nations was torn apart. >> reporter: but the referendum is not just about national identity. it's about money and politics. scotland's north sea oil and gas reserves are worth an estimated $2.5 trillion. the yes campaign said that is enough to help fund a new nation. but better together said oil money is not reliable and will eventually run out. >> in the no campaign, the only people in the world who argue the asset. >> currency is a major issue. >> he believes the best option for scotland is to have the pound sterling. we get our wages in the pound. i'm seeking the best option for scotland so our prosperous economy will continue. >> but they won't allow an independent scotland to continue using their sterling. >> the u.k. would consider a further div

in the interest of the whole of the united kingdom. nothing is agreed until everything is agreed. >> jeremy corbin. >> i join the prime minister in condolences for police officers who lost their lives in a tragic event yesterday and join the prime minister paying tribute to the late jimmy hood who represented clydesdale and hamilton, he was a good friend of ours and a great fighter for the coal industry and the mine workers union during the strike and after that during his time here. we thank jimmy for his work for the labor movement. in july the international trade secretary said would increase in history. does the prime minister still agree with that assessment? >> i am pleased to report negotiations are in progress and varies is progress. [shouting] >> my right honorable friend has been focusing on the trade negotiations for the future and because we are already a member of the european union when we leave we won't i have the same basis in relationship that canada was in negotiating the trade agreement and do expect we will get the
