Strong indication has emerged that once Article 50 is
triggered this week Wednesday the United Kingdom will start the process of
taking back full control of its laws from the hands of Brussels.
A White Paper on the Great Repeal Bill would be published by
the British Government within 24 hours that will outline the processes needed
to bring to an end the supremacy of EU law over the UK, thus transferring sovereignty
and independency from Brussels.
It will lay out how control will be returned to Parliament,
introducing temporary new powers to “correct the statute book to ensure a
smooth and orderly exit”.
According to a source from the Government: “Next week will
mark a defining moment in this country’s history, when the Prime Minister
invokes Article 50 and opens the way for formal negotiations to leave the EU
and build a truly global Britain. But a strong, sovereign country needs control
of its own laws. That, more than anything else, was what drove the referendum
result – a desire for the country to be in control of its own destiny.
“So next week we will get on with the job and set out the
steps we will take to ensure control of our laws lies in London, Edinburgh,
Cardiff and Belfast.”
It was also added that: “This momentum demonstrates the
Government’s commitment to getting on with delivering a smooth and orderly EU
exit.”
The source said: “A Great Repeal Bill will formally remove
it from the statute book on exit day and make the UK a sovereign and
independent country once again.”
It means on the day of Brexit all European laws will be
simultaneously converted into domestic law, which MPs can then amend, repeal or
improve after appropriate parliamentary debate and scrutiny.
“This will give businesses and workers maximum possible
certainty as the UK leaves the European Union and existing workers’ legal
rights will continue to be guaranteed in law,” the source said.
“It will also help ensure a smooth and orderly exit from the
EU.”
