EU Membership Bill [HL]


Official Summary

A Bill to require Her Majesty’s Government to negotiate with the European Union for the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union, with enhanced voting rights and immigration controls

Summary powered by AnyModel

Overview

This bill mandates the UK Prime Minister to negotiate with the European Union (EU) to reverse Brexit. The negotiation aims to secure the UK's continued EU membership with increased voting power and stricter immigration controls.

Description

This bill compels the Prime Minister to submit a proposal to the European Commission within two weeks of its passing. This proposal would involve withdrawing or cancelling the Article 50 notification (the formal notice to leave the EU). The proposal would also request that the EU create proposals to:

  • Grant the UK and France equal voting weight within EU institutions (the same as Germany).
  • Maintain freedom of movement, but with mechanisms to allow member states to manage immigration without negatively affecting their citizens' expectations.

The Prime Minister must then report to the House of Commons on the EU Commission’s initial response within four weeks of the bill’s passing.

Government Spending

The bill does not directly specify any government spending figures. However, the cost of renegotiating the UK's EU membership and implementing any new agreements would likely be substantial, although the exact amount remains undetermined.

Groups Affected

  • UK Government: Responsible for negotiations and implementation of any resulting agreements. Will face significant political and financial implications.
  • European Union: The EU institutions would need to consider and respond to the UK's proposal, potentially involving significant political and logistical challenges.
  • UK Citizens: Would be affected by the outcome of the negotiations, particularly concerning freedom of movement and the UK’s relationship with the EU.
  • Businesses: The continued membership or altered relationship with the EU would have significant impacts on trade and economic activity.
