growing call for her to be far more clear about what it means and we are waiting for the supreme courtjudgement we are waiting for the supreme court judgement any means and we are waiting for the supreme courtjudgement any minute now. we are. we are waiting for mp5 to get a vote on it which will be interesting to see if they want to fiddle around with what is going on. for instance, jeremy corbyn says he is the bottomline is that we in the single market. how do you do that? does he then vote against article 50? he said no. at some point, if it returns to parliament you can bet your life that mps will be trying to find a vehicle to hold this process up. ithink find a vehicle to hold this process up. i think we have gotten to a point where i'm not sure where theresa may could have gone with his other than where we are at the moment. it was perfectly clear from europe that free movement was not going to be messed around with so that ruled out a single market. free—trade deals with the rest of the world meant, we want those, it meant that we were not going to get the customs union. i think her nego

they know that even before the supreme courtjudge they know that even before the supreme court judget even before the supreme courtjudge announced their decision, the government was planning legislation, potential legislation in case the supreme courtjudgment went legislation in case the supreme court judgment went against them, which as they feared they would. so david davis, as you sort, told mps that shortly, the government would introduce what he called a straightforward bill, he said that no one in parliament would seek to make it a vehicle and the thought that will of the people, he said there can be no going back on brexit. neither can pick up on the point the honourable gentleman properly raised, the issue of judges, i think i mentioned three times in my statement that this is a nation of the rule of law, a nation where the independence of the judiciary is important and it is watched in this country by other countries as an example to themselves. and all the people who could criticise, i don't think i am at the front of the issue. that was the shadow brexit secretary, saying

eight of the 11 supreme courtjudges ruled that only mps and peers — not the government — have the authorityticle 50 and begin 2 years of negotiations. the president of the supreme court said that leaving the eu would change uk law and the rights of uk citizens — which meant parliament must be consulted. a short time ago mps were told the government would introduce legislation within days to start the formal process of leaving the eu. our political correspondent carole walker reports. this was a case with profound implications. who should decide the process for taking the uk out of the eu? the decision, taken by 11 of the most seniorjudges in the land, was delivered to the hushed courtroom. today, by a majority of 8—3, the supreme court rules that the government cannot trigger article 50 without an act of parliament authorising it to do so. article 50 begins the formal negotiations for leaving the eu, a process which the judges said would fundamentally change uk law. the referendum is of great political significance, but the act of parliament which established it did not say what should happ

let me turn to the process for invoking article 50 on the issues that arise from today's supreme courtjudgmenthe court was that it is proper and lawfulfor the government court was that it is proper and lawful for the government to begin to give effect to the decision of the people by the use of the prerogative powers to invoke article 50. today, the supreme court has agreed with the high courtjudgment that the prerogative power alone is sufficient to give notice under article 50. that legislation —— is an sufficient to give notice under article 50. after all... the supreme court ruled, and i quote, relations of the eu and for other foreign affairs matters are reserved for the united kingdom government and parliament, not devolved institutions. the supreme court summary goes on to say that devolved legislatures do not have a veto on the uk's decision to withdraw. i will come back to our collaboration with devolved administrations later. we believe and value the independence of ourjudiciary. the foundation upon which the roar of law is built. so of course, it goes without saying, we respect this

the supreme courtjudgment by 8—3, the supreme court said it is parliamentthat should be responsible forr brexit. let me talk to emily thornberry. a beautiful afternoon. what is your strategy. david davies said that in a few days he would introduce a straightforward bill. is it straightforward? straightforward bill. is it straightforward ? will you just vote for that? first of all we agree with the british public we need to leave the british public we need to leave the european union, there has been a referendum, we have our instructions. but what cracked a continuing relationship will we have? —— but what kind. we need to have? —— but what kind. we need to have the best deal for britain with the agreement of britain. when david cameron tried to negotiate a year ago, he did it on behalf of the conservative party and it failed. we need something where theresa may can go to europe and say, i speak on behalf of the uk. i do not know what she is afraid of and why she needed to be dragged here by the supreme court. it has been a waste of time and public money. they should have just done this

supreme courtjudges, as you know i have a list of 20. we have met with numerous candidates.ng in every case. there are largely highly recommended by several society. —— federal society. we have a great group of people and i will make the decision on till we will put up forjustice of the united states supreme court, a replacement for the greatjustice scalia, that will probably be within two weeks of the 20th. so within about two weeks probably the second week, i considered the first day because we will also be doing some pretty good signings and i think we will wait until monday. that will be really the first business day as opposed to doing a friday because on friday people are going to have a very good time at the inauguration. then saturday we're having a big church service. so the first day, and you will all be invited to the signings, we will be doing good signings, we will be doing good signings the monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday and the following week. on the supreme court i will be making that decision, a decision i strongly believe in. that is one of the rea

constitutional issues, and the supreme court judgment does constitutional issues, and the supreme courtjudgment implications going far beyond brexit. it is all to do with the royal prerogative, the position of the crown in parliament. if you are a constitutional lawyer or an academic, this will give you material for years to come, but on the practical question of preceding now to implement the decision of the referendum, i don't see that it causes any problem and i would expect parliament to pass the legislation quickly. what would you say today about a white paper setting out more detail and underlining what the prime minister herself as outlined in the last few weeks? the prime minister has already set out pretty clearly what oui’ already set out pretty clearly what our objectives are. if that was to be formalised as a government document, that is fine. but i perfectly understand the reluctance of the prime minister and the government to go into too much detail, because the last thing you do before you commence negotiation is to announce exactly what it is that you are trying to achieve and w

this bill respond directly to the supreme courtjudgment on the 24th of january and seeks to honour thed to hold the referendum, the people voted in that referendum and we are now honouring the result of that referendum. as we said we would. not at the moment. this is the most straightforward of possible bill is necessary to enact the referendum result and respect the supreme court‘s judgment. indeed, the house of commons at already overwhelmingly passed a motion to support the triggering of article 50 by the 31st of march. we will respect the will of the people and implement their decision by the 31st of march. subsection of clause one simply confers on the premise that the power to notify under article 50 of the treaty of the european union the uk‘s intention to withdraw from the uk‘s intention to withdraw from the european union. subsection two of clause one is included to make it clear that the power to trigger article 50 baby conferred on the prime minister regardless of any restrictions on other legislation —— may be conferred. together these clear and succinct powers will allow t
