The House of Lords Constitution Committee published on the 23 February 2017 a report on the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill. The Committee said that while its usual concerns about the fast-tracking of legislation were alleviated by the brevity and simplicity of the Bill, this should not be seen as setting a precedent for future constitutional bills. In particular, the report specifically stated that the fast tracking of this Bill should not be used 'as a precedent in relation to future measures of constitutional significance, such as the 'Great Repeal Bill' and other Brexit-related legislation'. |
