ITV host asserts even after the Britain finally leaves the
EU, the European courts would still be necessary.
This was said as reaction to the Brexit Secretary David
Davis, after he stated that the UK would no longer need the services of the
European Courts, as he attacks those saying British courts were good enough to
sort out the effect Brexit.
The Brexit was also resolute about a rational deal over the
rights of all EU nationals living in the UK, and British nationals living in
other EU nations.
On his part, Mr Barnier has also said that the European
Court of Justice "must absolutely" oversee the rights of EU citizens
in the UK after the country leaves the bloc.
Conversely, Mr Davis ripped into this red line and said
Britain will not stand for it ahead of his planned meeting with Mr Barnier at
the end of June.
He told Peston: "There will be arguments over fine
detail such as whether the European Court of Justice oversees these rights
after we've left."
When pressed by Peston on the "need for the ECJ",
Mr Davis hit back: "We are not prepared to accept that. We'll have an
argument about that.
"The simple truth is that we are leaving, we are going
to be outside the reach of the European court. We do not want the ECJ getting
involved in our affairs.
"I take slight offence to the idea that the Supreme
Court couldn't oversee this. We have very good courts in this country."
Mr Davis added: "Both sides knew that if we leave, we
leave it all!
"We are seeking a comprehensive free trade agreement
covering all products and alls services, and a customs agreement to go along
that.
"We want the most beneficial economic outcome while
respecting the referendum."
Later in the interview, Mr Davis mocked those who claimed a
bad deal with the EU was better than no deal.
He told Peston: "Nobody wants no deal, but you need the
option. We have to the option to walk away, or else we will be blackmailed.
"When you go buy a house and say I will buy this house
no matter what, you'll be charged a fortune!"
