United Kingdom Internal Market Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 September 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on United Kingdom Internal Market Bill.

May I take the Prime Minister back to the question asked by the former Attorney General, the right hon. and learned Member for Kenilworth and

Southam (Jeremy Wright)? It seems to me quintessential to the way we do our business that Ministers abide by the law. Indeed, the Justice Secretary is required by law to swear that he will uphold the rule of law. How, therefore, can the Prime Minister seriously advance a piece of legislation that says:

“regulations…are not to be regarded as unlawful on the grounds of any incompatibility or inconsistency with relevant international or domestic law”.

That is just gobbledegook, isn’t it? It is complete and utter nonsense.
