European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Keir Starmer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 September 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

I am on my feet answering the last intervention, which powerfully makes the point that this Bill is unprecedented in its scope. That is significant because the Secretary of State will point to some of the

safeguards under the Bill for the exercise of some of these powers, but if delegated legislation can amend the Bill’s powers once enacted then notions of exit day, how far the delegated legislation goes and which procedures are used could be amended by the delegated legislation. So it is a very real point.
