Fundamental rights not a bargaining chip for Brexit, says Committee
Fundamental rights not a bargaining chip for Brexit, says Committee
- While many fundamental rights are underpinned by EU law, the Committee
says that it is not clear whether the Government intends to remove any
rights which UK citizens currently possess under EU law - and, if so,
which rights are under threat. It demands that any future legislation
should include safeguards and Parliament should have the opportunity to
debate, amend and vote on any proposed changes to fundamental rights.
