H/t @dcakraemer for sifting the voting lists for the rebels
Speaking in the Commons, @Douglas4Moray argued that specifically requiring trade deals to respect UK food standards would be “best way” to protect them
None of his @ScotTories colleagues took the same position, with @AndrewBowie_MP arguing his Scottish leader’s position would “put at risk” imports and exports
MPs Alister Jack and @david_duguid are ministers, while @AndrewBowie_MP and @John2Win are aides to ministers and required to toe the government line or resign their positions
Former Scottish Secretary @DavidMundellDCT appears not to have voted
