European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 5) Bill

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way again. That would not be my interpretation, because subsection (5) states:

�If the motion in the form set out in subsection (2) for the purposes of subsection(1) is agreed to with an amendment�,

meaning an amendment to the date that the Prime Minister has asked for, which clearly shows that the motion that the Prime Minister would move is amendable. Therefore, if the House decided to include a date different from 30 June 2019, that is what the Prime Minister would have to seek in her discussions with the European Union.
