Article 50

Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 January 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Article 50.

Having argued in court that Parliament should not decide on the triggering of article 50 and lost, will the Secretary of State accept the unanimous recommendation of the Select Committee on Exiting the European Union—and in the process agree with himself before he got his present job—and now publish a White Paper on the Government’s objectives so that they can be considered alongside the legislation that he has just announced? If the Government do not do so, they will be showing a lack of respect for this House of Commons.
