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.

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way; he is being very generous. Does he recognise that people are suspicious given that, for example, the new Under-Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, the hon. Member for Fareham (Suella Fernandes), who has just joined us in the Chamber, said that the Government were right not to copy the charter of fundamental rights into UK law because lawyers will love the extra rights that it gives? That shows the real intention behind what some Ministers want, which is to bring down the rights that have protected so many people and workers, the environment, and safety.
