BREXITEER Jacob Rees-Mogg dismissed claims from Labour MP Chuka Umunna that Parliament could still delay Brexit after the Government backed down from a fight with Remainers over the European Union Withdrawal Bill.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

MPs were told shortly before a key vote on the Brexit<\/span><\/a> Bill that an official ministerial statement would be issued making clear it is ultimately for Speaker John Bercow to decide whether they get a “meaningful vote” on a no-deal withdrawal from the European Union<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Umunna suggested that despite the new motion in place Parliament would still have the “legislative canvas” to delay leaving the bloc.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg hit back saying there was no “statutory basis” for postponing Brexit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today<\/span><\/a> programme, Mr Rees-Mogg said: “There is no statuary basis for that and a parliamentary motion cannot simply delay Brexit.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our legal system works so that acts of Parliament are authoritative, not Parliamentary motions.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Rees-Mogg continued: “If you look at the Gina Miller case the heart of that was \u2018could the executive exercise Article 50 by an act of the prerogative\u2019 to which the court said no.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It needed parliamentary approval and the courts know only of one form of parliamentary approval and that is an act of parliament.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The concession was accepted by leading pro-EU Tory Dominic Grieve, who was greeted with jeers of “shame” from the opposition benches when he declared he would back the Government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking on Today earlier in the morning, Mr Umunna claimed that if many Brexit issues “remain unresolved” by the Autumn Parliament could use its power to slow down the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Umunna said: “Look, Parliament has a legislative canvas.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The five bills which have still got to complete their passage through Parliament by March next year provide MPs with the opportunity to assert Parliamentary sovereignty.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The point is, every single member of Parliament is going to have to make quite a solemn decision at the end of this year when we will know in much more detail exactly what Brexit looks like.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Umunna added: “What members of Parliament have to do – we are not delegates, we are representatives and its how our parliamentary democracy works and people will have to put their country and constituency first, put party interests to one side.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Theresa May may have secured a last-minute Government Withdrawal Bill victory last night, but she faces a fresh showdown with anti-EU Tories who fear further compromises with the EU will come at <\/span>price for Brexit Britain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A row is brewing as Government insiders predict the UK will opt to retain a relatively frictionless trading relationship with the EU if it agrees to stick to single market rules on manufactured goods but diverges elsewhere, such as services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tory Brexiteers fear Brussels bosses are looking to offer Britain access to its market goods this autumn in a bid to force Mrs May to concede on freedom of movement – a Brexit red line.<\/span><\/p>\n
