Proceeding contribution from Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 December 2018. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Exiting the European Union.

Exiting the European Union

My Lords, will the Leader of the House confirm that the processes laid down in the EU withdrawal Act have not been spent and that therefore it is not a question of giving this House a chance to just debate any other reassurances she gets, but that we have to go through the whole business laid down in the EU withdrawal Act? Would she further say whether the Prime Minister, in her consultations with her colleagues in the rest of the European Union, will include in that the possibility of prolonging the period of Article 50 beyond two years?
