TUC: Parliament must know details of May’s plans before voting to trigger Article 50
Responding to the Supreme Court ruling yesterday on the role of parliament in triggering Article 50, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:
“The Prime Minister has only given a list of Brexit priorities, and we are still waiting for the details of her plans.
“Before voting to trigger Article 50, MPs must demand a clear plan from Theresa May on how she will protect working people from paying the price for Brexit, and make sure their workplace rights do not fall behind those in the EU.
“Parliament also needs to see detailed proposals for how the UK’s devolved governments will be engaged in the negotiations, and a full plan for how we can keep our common travel area with Ireland.”
