A Tory grandee rebellion is underway to give Parliament a veto on the Govt's plan to override the Withdrawal Agreement. Sir Bob Neill has just tabled an amendment to the Internal Markets Bill, also signed by Damian Green and Sir Oliver Heald. More on @TimesRadio now.
The amendment would establish a parliamentary lock on the Govt's ability to use the new powers it grants itself in the bill to override the Withdrawal Agreement. Will be debated at committee stage, either later next week or the week after.
Sir Bob Neill suggests to @TimesRadio that there is support for his amendment on the Tory back benches. Doesn’t discuss numbers, but says: “I wouldn’t be pressing this issue if it was only a hobby horse of mine”.
