European Union (Withdrawal) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Mary Creagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 June 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Withdrawal) Bill.

I am very interested in my right hon. and learned Friend’s point, particularly in relation to the charter of fundamental rights. Does he agree that amendment (c) in lieu of Lords amendment 3 —it talks about environmental principles, and potentially rights, being put into primary legislation—may leave us in the anomalous position of having more environmental rights after Brexit than social and civic rights? Is that not a disgrace?
