A Bill to make provision for the supremacy of the sovereignty of the United Kingdom Parliament in relation to the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union, including matters in respect of borders and immigration; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
27 March 2015
The Bill would declare that the United Kingdom Parliament has ultimate authority over the UK's membership of the European Union, and it would apply that sovereignty to border and immigration matters (and related issues). In practice, this means Parliament would decide on EU-related membership and border/immigration policy, with EU rules or institutions not able to override Parliament in these areas.
Status: Second reading in the Commons. The bill is at an early stage and will need further readings and committee scrutiny before becoming law.
