WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement Friday after Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party secured a new majority in the Parliament of the United Kingdom:

“Prime Minister Johnson is due a hearty congratulations after his party’s historic win in yesterday’s parliamentary elections. I am confident he will get Brexit done for the British people. The Senate should prepare to do its part, too, by passing the United Kingdom Trade Continuity Act, a bill designed to promote economic stability and growth as the United Kingdom transitions out of the European Union.”
