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.

Does my right hon. and learned Friend agree with me that the amendment, as it stands, asks the Government not to act in accordance with the duty on them, but only to have regard to it, which is a much less stringent legal test? Does he also agree that while it creates the ability to initiate legal action, it does not provide a legal remedy or access to justice for UK citizens?
