question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Callanan on 10 May (HL7529), why leaving the EU in accordance with Article 50(1) without being bound by Articles 50(2) and 50(3) would prevent the UK from being a law abiding country under international treaty law and practice.
tabling member printed	Lord Pearson of Rannoch
uin	HL7770
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>Article 50 is the only lawful way to withdraw from the Union under the EU Treaties. Article 50 should be considered as a whole and sets out all the relevant procedures for a legal withdrawal. The UK is a law-abiding country and does not pick and choose which of its obligations to abide by and which to ignore. Negotiating and concluding a Withdrawal Agreement as provided for under Article 50 is in the interests of both the UK and the EU.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 22/05/2018 15:54:50 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

uin	HL7667
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>The degree of scrutiny Parliament wishes to give to ongoing EU business is of course a matter for Parliament. It will be for both Houses to determine the level of scrutiny they will want to undertake during the implementation period, on the basis of the detailed arrangements for the period agreed between the UK and the EU.</p><p>The Government supports a strong scrutiny process, and will continue to support and facilitate this for as long as EU legislation will continue to affect the UK. We are happy to engage in dialogue with the relevant committees as to how this may best be achieved.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 14/05/2018 16:12:08 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
