European Union (Withdrawal) Bill: Interpretation of retained EU law during transitional period (14 Nov 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...leave the EU in the referendum. The second thing that the Bill does is make sure there is legal certainty, with a smooth transition for citizens and businesses, mitigating one of the key risks of Brexit, which I believe is felt by people whether they voted leave or remain.

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill: Interpretation of retained EU law during transitional period (14 Nov 2017)

Dominic Raab: ..., that we have commissioned work to be done on an amendment that the Government will table before Report. It will require Ministers to make a statement before the House in the presentation of any Brexit-related primary or secondary legislation on whether and how it is consistent with the Equality Act 2010. I hope that gives her the reassurance she needs that the Government are serious...

European Union (Withdrawal) Bill: Interpretation of retained EU law during transitional period (14 Nov 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...their own case law in the ordinary way. We have, in my view at least, the finest judiciary in the world. Our courts are fiercely independent of Government, as they have already proved during the Brexit process. The clause will provide them with clarity about how they should interpret retained EU law after exit. As we take back control over our laws, it must be right that the UK Supreme...

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Leaving the EU: Legal Jurisdictions (31 Oct 2017)

Dominic Raab: We recognise the distinct legal systems across the UK. We engage with our counterparts in the devolved Administrations to prepare the ground for Brexit, in terms both of achieving a smooth transition on things such as civil and judicial co-operation, and of seizing the global opportunities for the UK legal sector, which contributed around £25 billion to the UK economy last year.

Oral Answers to Questions — Justice: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...trade surplus of £3.4 billion to the UK economy. The UK is a global leader in dispute settlement. We are working with the sector to promote this key comparative advantage. It is a priority for the Brexit negotiations, and, as a global leader, this is the message my ministerial colleague Lord Keen will be taking to the International Bar Association conference in Australia just next month.

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill: Power to notify withdrawal from the EU (13 Mar 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...tonight. I want briefly to address amendment 2 on the final vote. As others have said, it is quite wrong for the noble Lords to abrogate for the other place a right of unelected peers to veto Brexit at the eleventh hour. But more than that, it would be entirely counterproductive as a matter of diplomatic practice, with Jean-Claude Juncker talking about the possibility of the UK rejoining...

Budget Resolutions - Amendment of the Law ( 9 Mar 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...He explained that the economy was not growing fast enough. In fact, the British economy was the second fastest growing in the G7 last year, as it is this year, despite all the doom and gloom around Brexit. He needs to look at the economic facts. The right hon. Gentleman went on to say that real wages are falling, which hon. Members have returned to on several occasions. I will talk about...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill: Parliamentary approval for agreements with the Union ( 7 Feb 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...Britain would leave the EU without agreeing terms. On the new relationship agreement, the UK Government would of course be free to revert for further negotiations, but that could not delay or stop Brexit from happening under the terms of article 50. Those facts will rightly and understandably focus our minds, as they are doing here today, and with a sense of trepidation. They will also...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill: Parliamentary approval for agreements with the Union ( 7 Feb 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...illegal because there is no scope for a departing member, which has triggered article 50, to reverse its decision. That is clear from article 50(5). The amendment is clearly designed to reverse Brexit, despite Members passing the 2015 referendum legislation by six to one on the very clear understanding that we would respect the result. The amendment is probably beyond undemocratic and...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill: Parliamentary approval for agreements with the Union ( 7 Feb 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...out that any domestic implementing legislation as a result of any deals reached at international level will, of course, require parliamentary approval in the usual way. The legal effects of Brexit at home will be dealt with through enactment of legislation in advance of the ratification of the international treaties. On the international element, it is useful to distinguish between two key...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill: Parliamentary approval for agreements with the Union ( 7 Feb 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...to imagine that happening only in very exceptional circumstances—if at all—for a limited period and in relation to the exit terms. That is what the provision says. The agreement on our post-Brexit relationship with the EU could be prolonged as long as both sides wish, but that will not delay the exit, and it is extremely doubtful that article 50(3) could be used to delay departure on...

European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill (31 Jan 2017)

Dominic Raab: ...with some of them, but we cannot allow process to trump substance, delay the timetable or impose the kind of fetters that would only weaken our leverage and strength as we go into the crucial Brexit negotiations. Tomorrow, every democrat in this House will have their cards called. Do we stand by the high-minded statements of democratic principle that we all espouse, or do we find some...

New Partnership with the EU (17 Jan 2017)

Dominic Raab: I welcome the detailed plan set out by the Prime Minister for a post-Brexit Britain that means that we are a self-governing democracy and a firm friend to Europe but also with a global perspective. Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is absolutely vital that this is a positive vision, because that is how we can unite the country and make sure that Britain goes from strength to strength?

Oral Answers to Questions — Defence: Nato (12 Dec 2016)

Dominic Raab: ...Russian threat. Does the Minister agree that we should stand shoulder to shoulder with our Polish friends, and that this shows how Britain can be an even stronger European ally—irrespective of Brexit?

The Government's Plan for Brexit ( 7 Dec 2016)

Dominic Raab: ...to debate this important—indeed, defining—issue for our country. This is the 14th time Ministers, including the Prime Minister, have come to the House to debate or answer questions on Brexit, and there have also been four Westminster Hall debates. The Exiting the European Union Committee is up and running; indeed we took evidence this morning from the CBI and the TUC. That is the vital...

The Government's Plan for Brexit ( 7 Dec 2016)

Dominic Raab: .... It is my view that, given the positions already announced, we will almost inevitably be coming out of the customs union and the single market. Incidentally, that is also the evidence given to the Brexit Committee by everyone we have heard from so far. I understand why the Government do not want to drip feed their negotiating strategy into the public domain but want to let us know when...
