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 As a matter of firm policy, our notification will not be withdrawn - for the simple reason that people voted to leave.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 03/07/2017 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has firmly committed not to roll back workers’ and consumers’ rights. The Repeal Bill will ensure that those rights that derive from EU law will continue to be available in domestic law, giving certainty and continuity to employees and employers alike, and creating stability in which the UK can grow and thrive. We do not need to be part of the EU, nor bound by EU legislation, to have strong protections for workers.</p><p>The decision to leave the EU means we now have a unique opportunity to design a set of policies to drive environmental improvement, tailored to the needs of our country that has a powerful and permanent impact – ensuring a healthy environment and strong economy – and delivering on our commitment to leave the environment in a better state than we found it.</p><p>We will be seeking a bold and ambitious free trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union. This should be of greater scope and ambition than any such agreement before it so that it covers sectors crucial to our linked economies such as financial services.This will require detailed technical talks, but - as the UK is an existing EU Member State - both sides start with aligned regulatory frameworks and standards.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 03/07/2017 16:06:20 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
