Withdrawal Agreement: Legal Position

Debate between Victoria Prentis and Geoffrey Cox

Monday 3rd December 2018 Commons Chamber

[The Attorney General]

Yes, the right hon. Gentleman has had my advice, and can have it at any other point on matters of law arising from the withdrawal agreement.

[Victoria Prentis (Banbury) (Con)]

Does the Attorney General think that it would have been possible to sign the withdrawal agreement without the inclusion of the backstop?

[The Attorney General]

No.
