<p>No. The EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill will only implement the Withdrawal Agreement.
However the Bill will only be introduced following Parliament’s approval of the final
deal covering both the withdrawal arrangements and the framework for the future relationship.</p><p>As
the Prime Minister made clear in her Florence speech last year, the EU is not “legally
able to conclude an agreement with the UK as an external partner while it is itself
still part of the European Union”. Therefore, the Government will introduce further
separate legislation where it is needed to implement the future relationship into
UK law, ensuring Parliament is fully involved.</p>
