Allowing the permanent possibility of extending, i to the point ng that you may wish to discuss. Discussing the implementation, torture, we all remember, it came to resemble away charlie or ns foot board, andethius, you will recall, going back only to be picked out cycle to go on forever.

Once again, this house will be assembly able to legislate this in the United Kingdom. British courts will be the sole those laws and above all, the sovereign their people masters of own people controlling their borders and throughout our new immigration system were not welcoming those with talents but go out of our way to ability eople of regardless of nationality or background. To do this ly able because of the freedoms offered by our European Union partners. By leaving the e. U. , it will allow us once again to control numbers and bear down on nskilled immigration with our system. Nt based i would like to hear her explain why. Spoke about welcoming people. Releave the governments existing obligations with regard children, the d European Union will want to join heir family members in the United Kingdom, the lord has described this removal of our spirited and nasty. Can the government tell me, or Prime Minister tell me, y making this move is it mean spirited . Im afraid the honorable lady who has totally misunderstood were doing f what here, we remain proud of our ork in receiving unaccompanied children and well continue to the government and the amendment but this is not he place, the governor is absolutely committed. There are so many other advantages of this deal, mr. Course, that well be able to sign free trade deals markets of the world, a power that the British Government has enjoyed for the past 46 years. Cast off the Common Agricultural policy thats ourtrated and overburdening well release our and on the point of fishing fishing communities, will he guarantee hell not make a mistake in the 1970s, well not allocation of fishing resources to be a bargaining chip in the negotiations. Like a norm aged pent maritime nation and conduct on an annual basis. On a typical deal for mutual advantage. Perfectly understand what we need to do to restore this its advantages. Thats exactly what well do independent e an state and i remind members one party in e is this house. They are not just reversing the handing he people but back control of scotland. What they would do and i ook forward to hearing i look forward to hearing them explain why they continue to object policy and spoke underis house this bill, also regains the set the highest possible standards, and well new advantage of these freedoms to legislate in parallel on the environment, on consumers rights. And i reject, i reject the fear, i think the honorable lady, she maybe wants inexplicable an fear. The Prime Minister is right, monday date to get brexit done. He hat he has not what as not earned is the right to shoe horn into this legislation a direct attack of the most Vulnerable Children in the world. People in s that towns like mine, who believe that we deliver brexit, want to our back on decency and tolerance and kindness and empathy, hes wrong. Will he take these measures refugees out of this bill . I understand where the coming from. Y is but shes wrong on this point. E remain absolutely committed to ensuring that we continue, that we continue in this country receive unaccompanied children as we have done. Weve received thousands already. This country has a proud, proud ecord and well continue to do so. And i thought she was going to i would be s unable to legislate on the environment superior to the e. U. What we will now be able to do. That our ct the idea proceedings must be somehow verseen and manipulated by the e. U. And measured against their benchmarks. Essence of the opportunity of breaks sit that we will no longer outsource decisions. With renewed national selfconfidence well take them ourselves. And answer to those who sent us here. It was this parliament, this country, that s ed the whole of europe and the world in passing the act to improve the industrial working by law. Ns and this house never doubted its pioneer standards for the fourth industrial we did the just as first. Making epoch transformation has all the ivotal achievements of british history, affecting the combined National Genius of every corner of this United Kingdom and in era, our success once again will be achieved as one nation. Deal, in this bill, ensures that the United Kingdom leave the e. U. Whole and entire with an unwavering Northern Irelands place in our union. I happily give way to the speaker, to the Prime Minister, i am pleased that he intervention. The Prime Minister knows he has the strength and the selection to deliver brexit. Also knows that we want to deliver brexit. Deliver brexit as one nation, and add that that and that phraseology has been reinjected into this needs to he understand the concerns of arrangements for northern reland, half differentials, potential he needs to understand the concerns we share ecause we want to ensure we leave as one nation. And were not going to resolve will the es today but Prime Minister commit to proper and thorough and reconsideration, using the strengths he has to deliver for the entirety of this country . Of course, mr. Speaker, i understand the point that the raises but ntleman let me remoon you, the deal commits to unfettered access, access. Red to all parts of the uk with respect to territorial integrity of the uk. It ensures the Northern Ireland is part of the uk, customs, erritory and with full benefit immediately from any of our new trade deals as soon as they are enforced. Let me just remind let me just remind mr. Speaker, that applying l provisions the Northern Ireland which ensure, after all, a very important thing that there is no hard border across the the are d, Northern Ireland, subject to the consent of the Northern Ireland assembly, and assembly specifically withholds its consent, unless cotting bly insists on with this approach, then those arrangements automatically lapse alignment with the rest of the uk. I believe that these the interest erve of Northern Ireland and the uk as a whole and its a great deal whole country and we must now acknowledge and begin relationshipfuture with the e. U. Our aim is to provide a close friendship between sovereign promote our common interests, inspired by pride in heritage and civilization. Establishing, it parameters of an ambitious deep and Flexible Partnership rooted in our shared and ideals, and standing threats to inst rights and values from without or within. Im absolutely determined that not be at project will the project of one government or british but of the nation as a whole. So parliament, as i have said, fully informed about the progress of these negotiations. Be fortified by a renewed sense, by a renewed confidence that while it quite a few times the policy of the liberal democrats is not to have another referendum. They now when they work their we cy we should be a uld be fortified by renewed fortified by a should be we fortified by a renewed sense of that while our democratic institutiones have been tested as never before, if now touse comes together support this bill, as i hope it history will record that the first act of this new earliest stagets was to break the threads and new a new way through a package through to unsuspected oceans of opportunity. And so now is the moment to come together and write a new and exciting chapter in our national new , to forge a partnership with our european friends, to stand tall in the to d, to begin the healing begin the healing with the whole country. This and notice that spirit of unity commend this bill to the house. House. I request that the bill be read a second time. The honorable jeremy corbyn. Thank you, mr. Speaker. Over the last 3 1 2 years the mishandling of brexit has delivered nothing but across and idlock, economic uncertainty. Ts paralyzed our political system, divided nations and become a National Embarrassment unprecedented scale. We recognize the clear message week, he british last however they voted in the referendum of 2016, and understand, their determination end the never ending cycle of Brexit Debate and get back to solving the daytoday issues their allenge them in daily lives so we listen and understand that we cant go on debating what happened n 2016, and we have to respect that decision and move on. However, mr. Speaker, nderstanding all of this, doesnt mean that we as a party nd a movement, should abandon our basic principles or ever fairer the demand for a and more just society. We warned before the general election, Prime Ministers it deal was a terrible deal for our country and we its a terrible deal today. Ill give way later on. Not, excuse me, it will ot protector strengthen our rights or support our Manufacturing Industry or our trading relationships or protect our Natural World in a time of unprecedented climate crisis. Neither will it address the deep nequality in our system or secure the interest of every nation and region in the United Kingdom. Nstead, under the conservatives, this deal will be used as a battering ram to drive the path of yet more deregulation. A toxic deal with. Rump and [inaudible] benefit u. S. Drug corporations. They will take away the essential principles we believe in. Of a country that looks after everybody. Protect those communities left behind by the excesses can of the free market. This deal does not bring certainty to communities or to force. S or the work in fact, mr. Speaker, it does the opposite. Hard wires the risk of a no year. Rexit next im sure that will delight many opposite, the benches but not those who suffer the consequences in community and all across the country. Will not labor support this bill. Remain certain, as we remain certain, there is a fairer way for this country to leave the European Union. One which would not risk ripping our communities apart. Public services, or sacrificing hundreds of jobs in the process. This deal is a road map for which kless direction in the government and our prime inister are determined to take our country. They have done their upmost to the impact and continue to use gimmicks and slogans to turn away from their real intention. People have voted in the general election. Supported the Prime Ministers deal. He s a democrat, surely people. Heed the disappointed in the member. Le i wish him well. He hasnt listened to anything that i have said. Mr. Speaker, on the question, nothing exposes the intention more clearly than the steps they already taken on workers rights. For all the promises over the few weeks, that they are at party to protect rights work, at the very first opportunity they have removed provisions they said would be part of this bill. Not bode well for a separate bill the Prime Minister is now saying hell bring on workers rights. If he wants to assure people are safe in ghts his hands, if he wants to assure their rights are safe in his hands, he should legislate, to ensure workers rights in britain will european behind the Union Standards in the future. Nd support amendments to enshrine this commitment within bill. Yes . I thank the opposition for giving way. Ere all concerned in this house with workers rights. Rights ofdeed, on the approaching retirement. He took his policy to the british people. As much as anyone could discern it. Election. Al he was sought. Message does hat he not understand . [all yes] your Prime Minister, leader, if i may say so, mr. Speaker, said the workers going to be protected. Bill. Are not in this so mr. Speaker thanks for giving way. Isnt the whole point of this, be diminishing every time. Worse orable this is than that the one we had before the election, only workers rights are being downgraded. Of the legislature to strengthen [inaudible] its bad for democracy. Thanks, my friend, for all the intervention. Absolutely correct on what she says. Mr. Speaker, now, mr. Speaker, i now move on to what i think is one of the most appalling and what f this bill the Prime Minister has presented to us this morning. Make it clear that i see the governments removal of the protections of this bill for unaccompanied children seeking asylum is nothing short of an absolute disgrace and a piece of dishonesty towards those people who at the moment are clearly very, very concerned. So after last parliament, i was night, my hip last good friend, lord dubs, has to ensure lessly by the worst t bed aspects of global injustice can be given sanctuary. In its first t week in office has ripped up commitments. This is a move, safe passage as quote, as trulyi shocking, saying it could have nd i quote again, potentially tragic consequences. I think they say this, mr. Speaker, coming up to christmas, hame on this government for abandoning children in this way. Mr. Speaker, on the Environment Food Safety Standards this deal points to a complete realignment towards the far protections and standards that operate in the United States. If this government is set on pursuing a trade deal with the president es, with trump, with precious few bargaining chips to hand, the britain ality is that will have to lower its standards. Reality of it. Al the european brutal reality of it. European union has said it will need a laying Playing Field the tdz and froegss so choice we now face is between eeping the highest environmental and food standard in order to get a future trade union, or the european slashing food standards to match United States where there are socalled acceptable paprica if members think this is a piece of imagination, on my part, when i first told this i also thought that cannot be the case. Absolutely t and it is. Were about to strike a new race with thettom in a deal United States, and i think everyone should be aware and that. Of mr. Speaker. Turning to the arrangements with Northern Ireland, the Prime Minister has emphatically laimed, and i quote his own ords, there will be no checks g. B. En Northern Ireland we have a deal together as we e. U. Out of the this is not true. We know in whats carried out by under his dealy, there will be, in fact, an bundance of checks and Customs Declarations in the irish sea. Not only will this have a huge impact on Northern Ireland and society it will also have implications for the rest of britains economy and industry. Ing the treasurys own analysis spells it out. The government diverges from the e. U. Trading regulations in the future the disruptions that will be put in place between britain and our biggest trading partner. Checks, more disruption, is deeply damaging to our trade and for our manufacturing sector. Ike taking a wrecking ball to our vital supply chains on the thousands of jobs that rely on them. A ply chains will fe
