That this House notes with alarm the power grab in Clause 11 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill and its implications for the devolved administrations; condemns the actions of the Government not to bring forward amendments to Clause 11 of the Bill during its passage through the House; supports the efforts of both the Welsh and Scottish Governments to save their sovereignty by opposing the Bill in its current form; endorses their intentions to bring forward a Continuity Bill to protect the devolution settlements if the Bill is not substantively amended; and calls on the Government to respect the constitutional settlement ensuring the National Assembly for Wales and Scottish Parliament retain their sovereignty.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
