Specific piece of legislation to implement Brexit

Brexit Secretary David Davis has told Parliament that:

  • Once there is a Brexit deal, there will be a specific piece of legislation to implement it
  • He stresses that "we will have a meaningful vote" meaning lawmakers will be able to go through it line by line.
  • Solid progress has been made on question of Ireland and Northern Irish border, and both sides remain firmly committed to avoiding a hard border.
  • If lawmakers reject Brexit, UK leaves anyway.
  • Davis added if there is no agreement then he can't bring it before the House of Commons.
  • Probable sequencing is Brexit deal by October 2019
