INDEPENDENT BRITAIN: Great Repeal Bill to transfer powers from Brussels to Parliament

Independent Britain

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.”
