I think it's incredibly basic: we have to now deliver all of the huge advantages of trading with the 92 per cent of people in the world who aren't in the EU, so for me that was the final deciding factor.

More quotes by Andrea Leadsom
I can't possibly put myself in his [Tony Blair's] shoes and be inside his head but what I can say is that the security of the nation is the first duty of any government but at the same time for me going to war would always be the last resort. I would exhaust all other opportunities first.
Andrea Leadsom
I think we have muddled the terms of marriage, civil partnership, registry office, church etc. I would have liked that to have been clarified. I didn't really like the legislation that was the problem but I absolutely support gay marriage.
Andrea Leadsom
I would absolutely commit to holding a vote on the hunting ban - I think it is not proven to be in the interests of animal welfare whatsoever.
Andrea Leadsom
The great news is we have an all-female shortlist with no positive discrimination or anything, isn't that fantastic?
Andrea Leadsom
I will not use people's lives as bargaining chips.
Andrea Leadsom
Actually I do believe we need a proper licensed regime that works better and is much more focused on animal welfare.
Andrea Leadsom
I live in a constituency that is quite rural, there are some very successful hunts there that are abiding by the law as it stands now but who are very often pointing out to me the consequences of the need to exterminate vermin, which foxes are, and the consequences of trying to shoot them and winging them and so on.
Andrea Leadsom
The Nick Boles text is kiboshed [Mike] Gove's chances. It undermined people's confidence in him. It made it look as if he's been conspiring all along. It did more damage to his reputation than anything else.
Andrea Leadsom
I think we would look at other possibilities that would deliver further passenger capacity, that would deliver further infrastructure to the north of England but would be better value for taxpayers.
Andrea Leadsom
Prosperity should be our goal, not austerity.
Andrea Leadsom
I made very clear at the time that the love of same sex couples is every bit as valuable as that of opposite sex couples but nevertheless my view actually is that marriage in the biblical sense is very clearly from the many many Christians who wrote to me on the subject in their opinion can only be between a man and a woman.
Andrea Leadsom
I always make decisions with the facts so I would look to make an early decision with the benefit of the facts.
Andrea Leadsom
For me what we need is a great deal of fiscal stimulus to show the UK is open for business. We need to upskill our workforce. I'm very much in tune with the work our chancellor is doing.
Andrea Leadsom
Did we get anything like the sort of reform that would make the EU work better? No. Not even close. And worse, even with the certainty of a UK referendum following the negotiation, it is clear that there was no appetite amongst European leaders for anything more than a few minor concessions.
Andrea Leadsom
I came into politics because of a real childhood concern about the Cold War. So to me the importance of the nuclear deterrent is actually really ingrained in me.
Andrea Leadsom
For the second time in history the Conservatives will have a female prime minster, proving that we are not just the greatest but the most progressive party in Britain.
Andrea Leadsom
Specific policy decisions would be absolutely necessary to promote the UK. It's not necessarily borrowing more or changing our current account status.
Andrea Leadsom
I think part of the whole agenda of being open for business is about making sure that people can get here and also get there.
Andrea Leadsom
I do want to be very clear: I see our nuclear deterrent as absolutely core insurance for our national security.
Andrea Leadsom
I want to lead a nation where anyone who aims high can achieve their dreams.
