There’s much more to facilitating Brexit, of any description, than the EU withdrawal Act.

From that Tweet

“Could involve a vote on 2ndry legislation on Wednesday possibly on no-deal planning on financial services”

If secondary legislation required by financial services for no deal planning isn’t in place do you think May won’t declare it an emergency and extend/withdraw? The party backed May, and opposition parties will be happy to continue the pantomime as it makes the Tories look petty by squabbling against the national interest.

“Now the bill has gained Royal Assent and become an Act of Parliament, the Government has begun to introduce the secondary legislation it needs using the powers created by the Act. Ministers have estimated around 800 will be needed. The content of some of these will depend on the nature of the UK’s future relationship with the EU, but if the UK leaves the EU without a deal by March 2019 all of these will need to be in place.

The European and Statutory Instruments Committee (ESIC) is now up and running and the statutory instruments are being laid in Parliament. ESIC can recommend statutory instruments tabled under the negative procedure be upgraded to affirmative, but not the other way round. Therefore, it will likely scrutinise around 600.”
