The response came after some Conservative Party leadership candidates suggested they would bypass Parliament to deliver Brexit with a no deal, if they were elected as Prime Minister.
Speaking in the Commons today, Mr Bercow said: “As we all know, because I have said it several times and I think the honourable gentleman believes this, is that Parliament will not be evacuated from the centre stage of the decision making process on this important matter.
“That is simply not going to happen. It’s is just so blindingly obvious that it almost doesn’t need to be stated, but apparently, it does and therefore I have done.”
Former Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab on Wednesday did not rule out the option of proroguing the sitting of the current Parliament to block MPs attempting to stop Britain from leaving the European Union without a deal at the end of October.
The House of Commons is due to break for summer recess in July, but the former Brexit Secretary suggested he would be willing to block MPs returning to Westminster in order to deliver on the 2016 EU referendum result.
The SNP's Pete Wishart called the proposal a "subversion of democracy".
