<p>Joanna Cherry QC said she would back a lengthy delay in order to stop the damage posed by the current Brexit deal.</p>
<p>Appearing on the BBC’s Good Morning Scotland radio programme, she was asked if she would back an extension until the end of next year to allow time for a second referendum if approved by Parliament.</p>
<p><em>“Yes, I would,”</em> she replied. <em>“Because the current deal that’s been negotiated by Boris Johnson is immensely damaging to the British economy and particularly for Scotland.”</em></p>
<p>She pointed out that her party backed a second Brexit referendum at its autumn conference last year.</p>
<p>Ms Cherry added: <em>“We need to get a government in place to deliver the referendum and I don’t see Boris Johnson’s Government doing that.</em></p>
<p><em>“The SNP has been very clear that Boris Johnson should be removed from office once an extension is obtained.”</em></p>
<p>Speaking on the same programme, Scottish Conservative MP Andrew Bowie said: <em>“I don’t think this country needs or wants another referendum.</em></p>
<p><em>“We had a referendum three-and-a-half years ago. We’ve yet to implement the will of the British people as expressed in that referendum in 2016.</em></p>
<p><em>“All I’m focused on right now is supporting the Prime Minister in getting this deal, which is a very good deal, across the line so we can get on and leave on October 31.”</em></p>
<p>Questioned about Conservative MPs leaving the House of Commons on Saturday when Ms Cherry stood up to speak, he said there was “no co-ordinated walkout”.</p>
<p>He added: <em>“I apologise if any offence was given, or any slight was taken, none was intended. This was just part of the normal day-to-day working of the House of Commons.”</em></p>
