Boris Johnson now has the majority he needs to pass the Withdrawal Agreement Bill in the House of Commons. This event looked at what the bill does – and doesn’t – say as well as the prospect for any amendment in the House of Lords.

Our panel included:

  • Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town, Shadow Deputy Labour Leader in the House of Lords
  • Lord Anderson of Ipswich QC, Crossbench Peer and Barrister at Brick Court Chambers
  • Stephen Crabb MP, former Secretary of State for Wales and for Work and Pensions
  • Joanna Cherry QC MP, SNP Justice and Home Affairs spokesperson and MP for Edinburgh South West

The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government. There was an opportunity for audience questions.
