John Baron MP: PM’s renegotiation deal ‘not binding’

MP says this is one of many reasons for backing Brexit

Research from the House of Commons Library suggests that the renegotiation agreement secured by the Prime Minister may not be legally binding and irreversible. The research states that the agreement ‘is not a binding EU treaty or EU law in itself’, and that ‘the fact that an agreement must be “taken into account”…is not the same thing as saying it must be enforced’. Furthermore, it notes that the deal ‘does not – can not – give a legal guarantee that it will produce all the results envisaged’, since promises of future treaty provisions could be vetoed by any member state after the referendum on 23rd June.

John said,

“The House of Commons Library research appears to confirm what many of us had feared. Even if electorate votes for the Prime Minister’s referendum deal, there is no certainty its terms will not be changed or disregarded in the future.”

“This is one of the many reasons I will be voting to leave the EU.”
