Breixt Bill
House of Lords
Parliament
Image source, HoLThe amendment is wrong in principle, constitutionally improper and unnecessary, argues Conservative Lord Howard.
He admits that he may be either "rather courageous" of "foolhardy" going up against Lord Pannick, the lawyer who won the Supreme Court case against the government on Article 50.
His reasoning, he tells peers, is that it is not the job of Parliament to negotiate with foreign powers.
In terms of sovereignty, he argues that Parliament has the power to pass a vote of no confidence in the government and is therefore "always supreme".
