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 As a matter of firm policy, our notification will not be withdrawn - for the simple reason that people voted to leave.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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government is considering the effect that exiting the EU will have on vulnerable children and young people across a wide range of issues. It is vital that these interests are heard as we enter the negotiations. Officials from the Department for Exiting the European Union have already engaged with child and youth advocacy groups and will continue to do so in the coming weeks and months as part of our strategy to ensure that a wide range of stakeholder perspectives are factored into our approach to exit.</p><p>The UK has a longstanding tradition of ensuring that our rights and liberties are protected domestically and of fulfilling our international human rights obligations. The decision to leave the EU does not change that. The Repeal Bill will ensure that our rights and freedoms will be brought into UK law and this includes the rights of vulnerable children and young people.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 26/07/2017 12:04:18 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker
