Bill 104 56/2 Withdrawal from the European Union (Article 50) Bill

Peter Bone has introduced a Bill entitled "Withdrawal from the European Union (Article 50) Bill".

It is to be found online here: Bill 104 56/2 Withdrawal from the European Union (Article 50) Bill

Further progress regarding the Bill will be found here: Bill documents - Withdrawal from the European Union (Article 50) Bill

The core text of the Bill is here:

    1 Notification of the United Kingdom’s intention to withdraw from the

     European Union

(1)

Her Majesty’s Government has a duty to notify the European Council by 31 March 2017 of the United Kingdom’s intention to withdraw from the European Union.

(2)

The notification must meet the terms of Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.

 The Bill assumes that a "decision" has already been made of the kind described in Paragraph 1 of Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union.

As indicated in the preceding post there is very little known as to whether a "decision" really exists or not.

The requirement that the notification must "meet the terms" of Article 50 is self-evident. If it did not meet those terms the purported notification might prove to be invalid.
