Withdrawn after debate  NC70

To move the following Clause—

“Northern Ireland: the Belfast principles

(1)    

The Belfast Agreement implemented in the Northern Ireland Act 1998 (which

made new provision for the government of Northern Ireland for the purpose of

implementing the agreement reached at multi-party talks on Northern Ireland)

remains a fundamental principle of public policy after exit day.

(2)    

Accordingly, in the exercise by a Minister of the Crown or any devolved authority

of any powers under this Act to make any provision affecting Northern Ireland

the Minister or authority must have regard to the requirement to preserve and

abide by the Belfast Agreement and the principles implemented in Northern

Ireland Act 1998 (“the Belfast principles”).

(3)    

The Belfast principles include (but are not limited to) partnership, equality and

mutual respect as the basis of relationships within Northern Ireland, between the

North and South of Ireland, and between the islands of Ireland and Great Britain.

(4)    

In particular, in relation to this Act—

(a)    

the Secretary of State must not give consent under paragraph 6 of

Schedule 2 to this Act (requirement for consent where it would otherwise

be required in dealing with deficiencies arising from withdrawal) before

any provision is made by a Northern Ireland department except where the

Secretary State has considered the requirement to preserve and abide by

the Belfast principles and considers the provision is necessary only as a

direct consequence of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the

EU, and

(b)    

the powers under paragraph 13(b) of Schedule 7 to this Act to make

supplementary, incidental, consequential, transitional, transitory or

saving provision (including provision restating any retained EU law in a

clearer or more accessible way) may not be exercised to do anything

beyond the minimum changes strictly required only as a direct

consequence of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU.

(5)    

Section 11(3) (legislative competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly) of this

Act does not permit the Northern Ireland Assembly to do anything which is not

in accordance with the Belfast principles.”

the preservation of institutions set up relating to strands 1, 2 and 3 of the

Good Friday Agreement,
