European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill

From the beginning, my main objection has been that decisions are often taken in that way. The hon. Gentleman sits on the European Scrutiny Committee, which I chair, and he knows perfectly well that I have complained vigorously, for ever, about the fact that decisions are taken behind closed doors within the EU. It was not about our sovereignty; it was about

theirs. Their sovereignty has been imposed on us. That is why I objected to it, and that is why we are standing here today.
