	question text	Her Majesty's Government whether they have taken legal advice on whether the UK can revoke the triggering of Article 50.
	tabling member printed	Lord Myners
	uin	HL1047
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2017 answer text <p>A clear majority of the electorate voted to leave the EU and we will respect the will of the British people. This was reinforced by the fact that in the last general election over eighty percent voted for parties committed to respecting the outcome of the referendum. There can be no attempts to remain inside the EU and no attempt to rejoin it. There is no precedent for a country triggering Article 50, let alone seeking to reverse such a decision. As a matter of firm policy, our notification will not be withdrawn - for the simple reason that people voted to leave. And we are determined to see through that instruction.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 31/07/2017 13:40:34 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
