Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that all the required legislation for leaving the EU is passed by Parliament before any vote on the final Brexit deal.

The Government is committed to delivering a smooth and orderly exit from the EU and the Queen’s Speech 2017 set out the legislative programme to support this.

Six exit-related bills have been introduced in Parliament in this session: the EU (Withdrawal) Bill, the Nuclear Safeguards Bill, the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill, the Trade Bill, the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill and the Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill.

The Government has always said we will bring forward further legislation as required to deliver our exit. This includes the Withdrawal Agreement & Implementation Bill that would give the Withdrawal Agreement domestic legal effect. Only after Parliament has voted in favour of the final deal will we introduce the Withdrawal Agreement and Implementation Bill.
