This Government has negotiated a deal, which comprises the terms of our exit from the European Union and the framework for the future UK-EU relationship, in line with Article 50 TEU.<\/p>
The Prime Minister notified the European Council (under Article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union) of the United Kingdom\u2019s intention to withdraw from the EU, following the passing by Parliament of the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017, as per the UK\u2019s constitutional requirements.<\/p>
Under the terms of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, the Withdrawal Agreement may be ratified only if it is approved by a resolution of the House of Commons, along with the framework for the future relationship. An Act must also be passed providing for the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement.<\/p>
