If Brexiter MPs are confident that this technology can be developed then they should support the PM. At the moment, they don't seem confident of this so Theresa May will have to get some of her support from the opposition benches.
The gap now between you and me (in this context) is that I am sceptical of the EU's bona fides in agreeing the technology. If we work on it together, and there is a political declaration that shapes the intended trade agreement, there is hope.

Then we have to get it through our fractious Parliament.

The end game MUST be a full break from the EU's political and theological institutions,
