Article 50

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

There have been a couple of references to paragraph 122 of the Supreme Court judgment. It says:

“There is no equivalence between the constitutional importance of a statute…and its length or complexity.”

It adds:

“A notice under article 50…could…be very short”.

Does my right hon. Friend agree that that is a very important message for Opposition Members?
