Chris Grayling warns MPs against trying to BLOCK Brexit

Chris Grayling has warned MPs against defying the 'will of the people' as a former minister threatened to vote against Brexit in parliament. Scroll down for video Chris Graylin said it would be 'inconceivable' for MPs to try to bock Brexit in the Commons The legislation is set to be included in the Queen's Speech and should be passed by May 2018 - although it will not come into force until we have concluded negotiations with the EU over new trading terms. But Transport Secretary Mr Grayling - a key Brexit campaigner - hit back: 'I think it's inconceivable that Parliament could look at the view of the British public and just ignore it. But former minister Anna Soubry said she saw no reason why she should not vote against legislation cutting ties with Brussels 'I believe that both Houses of Parliament are full of democrats and those democrats will respect the will of the people, so I think you're talking about hypotheticals.' She conceded her constituents in Broxtowe had narrowly voted in favour of leaving the EU, but added: 'Do I now put aside everything I've ever believed in and vote for something that I don't believe in as a Member of Parliament?
