SIMON Baynes voted for the first time as a new MP in Parliament to 'get Brexit Done'.

Mr Bayes, who beat sitting MP Susan Elan Jones to take the Clwyd South seat in the December General Election, 'fulfilled his promise' to voters in his constituency by voting for the Second Reading in parliament of the EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill which passed by a majority of 124.

The Withdrawal Agreement Bill will ensure that the UK ceases to be an EU Member State at 11pm on January 31 2019.

At this point, the EU Communities Act 1972 will be repealed and the UK will enter the implementation period.

Earlier in the day, Mr Baynes met with the Brexit Minister James Duddridge MP to discuss the Brexit bill before the parliamentary debate.

Mr Baynes said: “It was a great honour to vote as the new MP for Clwyd South in today’s [Friday, December 20] historic vote in parliament which will ensure that we finally release the country from the stranglehold of indecision, restoring confidence to people and businesses and get Brexit done.

"Thursday’s Queen’s Speech set out not only how we will leave the EU but how we will maximise the opportunities of Brexit – taking back control of our money, our laws, our trade and our borders, introducing an Australian style points-based immigration system and investing in the NHS.

"We will work around the clock to repay the trust millions of voters placed in this People’s Government and ensure that work starts with getting Brexit done.

"At the beginning of the new decade, at the beginning of a new dawn for our country, our Parliamentarians will return to Westminster to immediately finish the job, take us out of the EU on January 31 and move this country forward.”
