The Government has secured a deal which takes back control of our laws; it ends the jurisdiction of the CJEU in the UK and instead means our laws being made in our Parliaments, enforced by our courts.

There will be a limited and clearly defined role for the CJEU as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement. The EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill will implement the Withdrawal Agreement in UK law.
