Nuclear Safeguards Bill

Proceeding contribution from Richard Graham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 January 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nuclear Safeguards Bill.

I am puzzled why new clause 1 is necessary. All its ingredients are issues that form part of the transition negotiations that our country is going through with the European Commission. It therefore seems bizarre to try to legislate that

“conditions under which the UK is a member of EURATOM before exit day shall continue to apply”

during the transition. On that basis, we would be legislating for all sorts of things that form part of the negotiations to continue during the transition. What would the hon. Gentleman say to that?
