(Alliance News) - UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson s post-Brexit trade deal with the EU has won the backing of the brexiteer backbenchers, who have said the agreement preserves the UK s sovereignty .
A self-styled star chamber of lawyers – led by senior Tory Bill Cash – was assembled by the European Research Group to examine the 1,246-page text of the agreement.
They concluded that the agreement preserves the UK s sovereignty as a matter of law and fully respects the norms of international sovereign-to-sovereign treaties .
In a statement, they said: The level playing field clauses go further than in comparable trade agreements, but their impact on the practical exercise of sovereignty is likely to be limited if addressed by a robust government.
