The EU Bill, the UK and British Sovereignty: With whom will power lie?

Speaking at Politeia Martin Howe, QC and Jacob Rees-Mogg, MP consider the new EU Bill.

Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests the measure...

• Makes European integration more difficult for politicians to push through.
• Needs some improvement, e.g. the phrasing of the sovereignty clause.

Martin Howe, who proposed the sovereignty measure, considers:

• How far the EU Bill will promotes the government’s aims?
• What other steps are needed so that EU law-making is accountable to parliament?

Watch the rest of the seminar.
