Line 1, leave out from “House” to end and add, “rejects the Government’s withdrawal agreement and the framework for the future relationship with the EU; recognises the resolutions of the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly on 5 March 2019 to oppose the UK Government’s exit deal and agree that a no deal outcome to the current negotiations on EU withdrawal would be completely unacceptable on 29 March 2019, or at any time; recalls the endorsement of this House of the Claim of Right for Scotland on 4 July 2018, recognising the sovereign right of the Scottish people to determine the form of government best suited to their needs; notes that people in Scotland voted decisively by 62 per cent to remain in the European Union in the referendum held in June 2016 and believes Scotland should not be forced to leave the EU against its will; believes the way the interests of Scotland have been ignored throughout the Brexit process demonstrates beyond doubt the UK Government’s contempt for the idea of the UK as a partnership of equal nations; and further believes that the best future for Scotland lies in it becoming, like so many of its neighbours, a full, equal, sovereign, independent Member State of the European Union.”.

(1) the Prime Minister should ask the European Council to decide unanimously before 29 March 2019 to agree an extension of the two-year negotiating period under Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, in order for a negotiated Withdrawal Agreement to be subject to a democratic decision of the people of the United Kingdom;

(e) the second reading of the Terms of Withdrawal from the EU (Referendum) (No. 2) Bill shall stand as the first order of the day; and

Jonathan Edwards
Hywel Williams
Ben Lake

Amendment (j)
Angus Brendan MacNeil
Line 1, leave out from “House” to end and add “recognises that Scotland voted to remain in the European Union but a UK-wide Withdrawal Agreement would take Scotland out of the European Union; and requires Ministers to make a section 30 order for a referendum to determine whether Scotland wants to be independent and to pursue its future as it sees fit.”.

At end, add “; notes that, according to a cautious UK Trade Policy Observatory prediction, an estimated 750,000 people would become jobless if the UK left the EU with no deal; and accordingly calls on the Government to use both fiscal and monetary tools available to support the economy and to create an emergency Brexit Support Fund of at least £7.5 billion to mitigate job losses caused by Brexit uncertainty, a No Deal Brexit or the PM’s deal, with the fund being ring-fenced to support UK workers made redundant as a result of businesses leaving the UK, closing down or downsizing as a result of the impact of Brexit, and to offer workers the chance to receive advice or re-training to help them secure employment or start a new business.”.
