(asked on 6th February 2017) - View Source

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty’s Government at what stage of the process of leaving the EU they expect the European Court of Justice to cease to have any jurisdiction in the UK.


This question was answered on 13th February 2017

The Prime Minister has been clear that we will take back control of our laws and bring an end to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the United Kingdom.

Leaving the European Union will mean that our laws will be made in Westminster, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.

And those laws will be interpreted by judges not in Luxembourg but in courts across this country.

The Government wants to have reached a broad agreement about our future partnership, including the nature of dispute resolution mechanisms, by the time the two-year Article 50 process has concluded.
