new laws which might be made by the ecj and eu and overseen by the eu.t of halfway house measure where britain would look at the new laws on the grid ecj rulings itself and decide whether they would conflict with our priority is bit the eu will not accept that because it is a halfway house. it is an illustration of the bind the prime minister is still in as she tries to face of the brexiteers on her party who want to be tougher with the eu, but at the same time make progress in the negotiations, and it is not clear how she squares that circle. some mps want to regard it as implementation rather than transition which could have different connotations but it does not get them off the hook?m different connotations but it does not get them off the hook? it does not get them off the hook? it does not really. the nice thing as it has the characteristics that it makes someone's heart sink when they talk about it or think about it or even just have their eye caught by a headline across a crowded room. we are spending so much time debating things which are fairly

a conservative eurosceptic, jacob rees—mogg, raised the issue of the ecj, the european court of justicellowjustice, to its new rules relating to the single market. and is paying into the european budget. are we not vassal state? no, we are not. not today. we have a representative on the board ofjustice. we have a representative on the court ofjustice. as i said earlier to one of your colleagues, i take the view that the transition is a little different. if that were going to be the case, in perpetuity, my answer would probably be yes, but the answer for sure time is no. would probably be yes, but the answer for a short time is no. isn't this a very serious. it is hard to think of any president in the world where an independent nation has taken the judgements of a foreign court as its superior law without having anyjudge on that? you are right. you are talking about something which we are currently negotiating. we have not decided how we are going to manage those elements. 0r indeed the agencies and so on. in your earlier answers, the european court ofjustice. what you mean by exceptjuri

the conservative eurosceptic, jacob rees—mogg, followed up on the issue of the ecj, the european courtofjustice, and takes new rules relating to the single market and is paying into the european budget, are we not? not a vassal state? no we are not, not today, you might think... we have representative on the court ofjustice and i don‘t. we are transitioning from one state to another. and you can call it what you like. representations in parliament. if that were the case, my proper my answer probably yes, but the answer for a short time is no. isn‘t this very serious that the line is hard to think that any president in the world, when independent nation has taken the judgement of a foreign court as its superior and immediate law without having a judge on that? bear in mind, we are talking about something which we are negotiating so we had not decided quite how we will manage those, in court or the agencies. but, in earlier entries that we would accept it. what you mean by accept thejurisdiction? ican i can say that at all, we are transitioning from one state to another. —— i don‘t say t
