- Brexit.
Tuesday’s vote in the House of Lords on the European Union (Notification
of Withdrawal) Bill is unlikely to achieve much, for two reasons. Firstly, the
amendment is so badly worded it may actually not mean much. Secondly, it is
likely to be overturned anyway.
The amendment inserted at Report Stage calling for Parliamentary approval
of any deal with the EU is a curious provision. It was clearly not drafted by a
lawyer, or if it was, not a constitutional lawyer. Perhaps they got a conveyancing solicitor to do it pro
bono.
