		</div><p>Britain&#8217;s Former Tory Cabinet minister Lord Heseltine says he has been sacked after rebelling over Brexit.<br />
He backed tonight&#8217;s demands for a &#8220;meaningful&#8221; vote on the final Brexit deal.<br />
Earlier, he had warned that quitting the European Union was the &#8220;most momentous peacetime decision of our time&#8221;.<br />
He was later told that Prime Minister Theresa May was firing him from his roles advising the Government on a number of areas, including its industrial strategy.</p>
<p>The peer said he was sorry his expertise would no longer be used by the Government but insisted it was Parliament&#8217;s duty to protect the country&#8217;s legacy for future generations.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;I have just been told by the Chief Whip in the Lords that No 10 is to sack me from the five jobs with which I have been helping the Government following my vote in the House of Lords earlier today.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is entirely the right of the Prime Minister and I&#8217;m sorry that the expertise which I have put at the Government&#8217;s disposal over the last six years has now come to an end.</p>
<p>&#8220;However, in the last resort, I believe, as I said in the House of Lords, the future of this country is inextricably interwoven with our European friends.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the duty of Parliament to assert its sovereignty in determining the legacy we leave to new generations of young people.&#8221;</p>
