European Union (Withdrawal) Bill — Clause 1 — Repeal of the European Communities Act 1972 — 14 Nov 2017 at 19:06

The majority of MPs voted to end the supremacy of EU law in domestic law and to remove the mechanism which enables the flow of new EU law into UK law.

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

This vote was on if Clause 1[2][3] should remain part of the Bill, the motion which was the subject of this vote was:

  • That the clause stand part of the Bill.

Clause 1 of the Bill is titled Repeal of the European Communities Act 1972 and states:

The European Communities Act 1972 legislated for the UK's membership of European Communities and incorporated European Union law into UK law.

The text used in the initial paragraph of this description is taken from the explanatory notes[3] to Clause 1.
