European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Doughty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 January 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

My hon. Friend is making a strong point and I strongly support what he is saying and Labour Front-Bench amendment 4. I accept that many Conservative Members would strongly defend the rights in the charter and other provisions we have agreed to, but does my hon. Friend agree that the public have reason to be deeply suspicious, because they hear many Conservative Members talk about a race to the bottom in regulation, particularly in employment rights, and about wanting to scrap the Human Rights Act and pull us out of the European convention on human rights? That is why keeping such rights is so crucial.
