TheEuropean Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020 (c. 1) is anact of theParliament of the United Kingdom that makes legal provision for ratifying theBrexit withdrawal agreement and incorporating it into thedomestic law of the United Kingdom. It is the most significant constitutional piece of legislation to be passed byParliament of theSecond Johnson ministry. The Withdrawal Agreement was the result ofBrexit negotiations.[1]

On 24 July 2018 the Government produced awhite paper on the proposed bill and how the legislation would work.[2] The bill was first introduced[3] by the government in the second session of the 57th Parliament on 21 October 2019 with the long title "A Bill to Implement, and make other provision in connection with, the agreement between the United Kingdom and the EU under Article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union which sets out the arrangements for the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU".[4] This bill was not further debated after the second reading in the Commons on 22 October 2019 and lapsed on 6 November whenparliament was dissolved in preparation for the2019 general election.

The bill was reintroduced immediately following the general election and was the first bill to be put before theHouse of Commons in the first session of the 58th Parliament,[5] with changes from the previous bill, by the re-elected government and, in an unusual procedure, received its first reading before the debate on theQueen's Speech began. The second reading took place on 20 December, and the third on 9 January 2020.

This act was givenroyal assent on 23 January 2020, nine days before the UK left theEuropean Union.

Provisions

Legislative history

[edit]
See also:Brexit withdrawal agreement plan

On 13 November 2017, theBrexit Secretary,David Davis, announced plans for a new bill to enshrine the Withdrawal Agreement, if any, in domestic law by primary legislation. Upon further questioning in the House of Commons, Davis clarified that if MPs chose not to pass the bill, the UK would remain on course to leave the EU on 29 March 2019 without a deal as a consequence ofinvoking Article 50 in March 2017, after the passing of theEuropean Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017.[8]

Described byThe Independent as the government "caving in" to Tory rebels, the bill as originally conceived would have allowedMPs to scrutinise any agreement "line-by-line", as well as make amendments.[9] Conservative MPSteve Baker, writing forThe Times, claimed the new bill "gives whatever deal we strike with the EU proper standing in British law" and that it was consistent with thereferendum result in providing "more control over how we are governed to theUK Parliament."[10]

The bill was introduced to Parliament for the first time on 21 October 2019, but lapsed on 6 November with the dissolution of Parliament in preparation for theDecember 2019 general election.

Following the attainment of a Conservative majority at the election, the bill was revised and reintroduced on 19 December, passing its second reading the following day. The December revision of the bill removed the provisions made in previous versions for parliamentary scrutiny of Brexit negotiations.[11]

The Withdrawal Agreement Bill passed its third and final reading in theHouse of Commons on 9 January 2020, with 330 in favour to 231 against.[12]

On 21 January 2020, theHouse of Lords passed the bill after approving five amendments to it. However, these amendments were overturned by the House of Commons on the following day.[13][14]

On 22 January 2020, the bill was passed by the House of Lords without further modifications. It receivedroyal assent byQueen Elizabeth II the following day.[15][16]
