European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 September 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

On delegated legislation, the hon. Gentleman seems to think that it is okay if something is debated in Committee, but the truth of the matter is that the only motion that can be considered in a delegated legislation Committee is whether the Committee has or has not considered the matter in hand. In other words, if every member of the Committee voted against, the legislation would none the less come into law. That is the danger of relying on secondary legislation.
