Parliament must supply an EU Commissioner to represent Britain if PM refuses to
It is thought that Mr Johnson’s advisers have found an obscure facet of EU law which they claim would enable the UK to paralyse the ruling European Commission if we remain beyond the current exit deadline of October 31.
The European Commission must have 28 commissioners by November 1, one for each member state.
If Mr Johnson refuses to supply one to represent Britain, Parliament must do so. That will avoid a scenario where the European Commission cannot legally constitute itself.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. If this situation arose, it would be a legal matter for the courts to decide, rather than the UK Government or Parliament.
