European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 5) Bill

I strongly disagree with the hon. Lady�s reading, as subsection (3) sets out the terms in which anything can be offered under subsection (2) and amendment 20 places a clear limit in subsection (3) of 30 June. Subsection (5) then says:

�If the motion in the form set out in subsection (2) for the purposes of subsection (1) is agreed to with an amendment to change the date�

and so on. The issue I have is that subsection (3) says that the date has a time limit, so it would not be legally possibly under subsection (2) to have a date that contradicted the requirements set out in subsection (3). That is my contention and I disagree with the hon. Lady. If she and the right hon. Member for Leeds Central were right, they would not have had subsection (3) at all.
