Northern Ireland Protocol Bill

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech. I have just one point to add. Does he agree that there is a certain irony in the fact that probably large numbers of the 52% who voted for Brexit voted to strengthen, solidify and consolidate parliamentary sovereignty, but these Henry VIII powers are strengthening the hand of Government and weakening

the hand of Parliament? Does not that seem to run directly counter to what many people who voted for Brexit were voting for?
