European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Mann (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 June 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

Does my hon. Friend understand that Labour voters in the midlands and the north, who voted in large numbers to leave the European Union and who are a little bemused at the arguments even among the Cabinet over how that is delivered, do not wish to see the negotiations carried out by 650 Members of Parliament, and want to see Brexit got on with? If the Lords amendments are agreed to, how will we explain to those Labour voters that the unelected House of Lords can overturn both the Commons and the referendum?
