Fix the date and time of exit???? What an idiotic idea! Another missive to my MP
Dear Mrs Milton
In my recent perusals of the many proposed amendments to EU Withdrawal Bill
I missed references to enshrining the exit date and time in law. I was alarmed
and appalled, therefore, to read the following this morning:
"It will be there in black and white on the
front page of this historic piece of legislation: the United Kingdom will be
leaving the EU on March 29, 2019 at 11pm GMT."
I wrote to you some time ago about the folly of the premature
triggering of Article 50, a warning that I believe has been borne out by
subsequent events. To now fix the date of leaving in this way compounds that
folly and would represent a move of negotiating suicide. I urge you to do
everything in your power to exercise good judgement and ensure that such a step
gets nowhere near the statute book.
Yours sincerely
Richard Bawden
