European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill — New Clause 143 — Financial Liability of the UK towards the EU — 7 Feb 2017 at 21:28

The majority of MPs voted not to make publication of an assessment of the financial liability of the UK towards the EU, and a statement on the economic impact of the UK leaving the single market, a prerequisite for the Prime Minister giving notification of the UK's intention to withdraw from the EU.

MPs were considering the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill[1].

The proposed new clause rejected in this vote was titled Financial Liability of the UK towards the EU and stated:

  • “The Prime Minister may not exercise the power under section 1 until the Chancellor of the Exchequer has—
  • (a) published an assessment of the financial liability of the UK towards the EU following the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, and
  • (b) made a statement to the House of Commons on the economic impact of the United Kingdom leaving the single market.”
