Leaving the Single Market should be subject to a parliamentary vote

Petition Details

Article 127 of the 1994 EEA Agreement states Each Contracting Party may withdraw from its Agreement provided it gives at least twelve months' notice in writing to the other Contracting Parties.

Additional Information

"Immediately after the notification of the intended withdrawal, the other Contracting Parties shall convene a diplomatic conference in order to envisage the necessary modifications to bring to the Agreement". Because the UK is a separate 'contracting party', leaving the European Union does not automatically result in a cessation of EEA membership. As a result, because British EEA membership is enshrined in UK law through Parliament's 1993 Agreement Act, then triggering Article 127 requires parliamentary approval before it can be formally triggered.
