The UK government is planning to give itself new powers to override elements of the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement via a new piece of legislation, the Internal Market Bill (‘the Bill’). The issues at stake cover: movement of goods from Northern Ireland (‘NI’) to the rest of the UK (‘Great Britain’ or ‘GB’); state aid provisions; and an override (ouster) clause.
The 3 issues:
- 1 Movements of goods from NI to GB – Clause 42, Internal Market Bill
- 2 Modify state-aid provisions – Clause 43, Internal Market Bill
- 3 Override clause – Clause 45, Internal Market Bill
