European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Keir Starmer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 June 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

I have looked very carefully at the provisions in the EEA agreement, and there has been a lot of discussion about articles 112 and 113 in particular. I have to say that my reading of those articles is that they are what are called “in extremis” provisions, which actually do allow some flexibility on all obligations under the EEA agreement, but only in extreme circumstances and for a short period. The argument that others have put to me is that there is a different interpretation, but we are still discussing that matter.
