European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

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

My hon. Friend is correct: it is the only opportunity to make it clear to the Government that we intend to have our say when the negotiations have been concluded. This is the one chance that we have to exercise the sovereignty that all of us believe properly rests with this House, whether we voted leave or remain in the referendum. I hope very much that the House, recognising that this is its one chance, will take that opportunity by voting later today for Lords amendment 19.
