Article 50

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

Today the Government have been humiliated in the Supreme Court. They have been taught a lesson about the real meaning of parliamentary sovereignty and taking back control. Will the Secretary of State now accept this verdict in the spirit, as well as the letter, of the ruling and finally concede that this House needs votes along the way, not simply debates without votes, and proper parliamentary

scrutiny so that together, working across this House, we can bring the country to the best possible deal in the interests of all our areas up and down this country?
