Quote from The Sun:
David Davis has vowed that rebel MPs who could try and vote down the final Brexit deal will not be able to overturn the referendum decision to leave the EU.
The Brexit Secretary said even if the Government lost a “meaningful” vote in Parliament on the agreement secured by Theresa May from Brussels - we would still be quitting the bloc as planned.
One of the ways anti-Brexit campaigners have identified as a possible route to halting our exit is for the Prime Minister to lose a vote in the House of Commons.
They have suggested it would be an effective vote of no confidence in Mrs May, would prompt her resignation, lead to another election and a possible second referendum.
But speaking to a committee of MPs Mr Davis said he did not see it that way, adding: "I don't view a meaningful vote as overruling the referendum if that's what you mean."
The Cabinet minister also said the government would not stop planning for a no-deal Brexit scenario even if agreement on a transitional period is reached with the EU later this month.
