European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 5) Bill

Yes, but it does so through a Bill and it gives the Prime Minister the opportunity to make her case to Parliament, but without any constraint on that at all. Given that this is a very novel legal approach�a rushed piece of legislation, with a Bill being driven through the House in one day�we should be cautious about the scope we attach to that Bill. Attaching an ability to go for a very long extension of several years�potentially five years if Parliament decided that is what it wanted�is worthy of further deliberation.
