Labour's Mary Creagh says she will vote against the law because of "the unprecedented Henry VIII powers".

She accuses the prime minister of turning into "a female version of Louis XIV - the Sun King" who she notes famously said "L'etat, c'est moi".

"As representatives of the British people sent here under a mandate we say 'L'etat c'est nous'.

"There will be no Sun Queen created on our watch," she adds.

Conservative Victoria Atkins says it is in everyone's interest to achieve a smooth Brexit and that she hasn't heard of a different way of doing this other than "the wholesale adoption of EU law".

She says that Parliament, in the coming years, will play "an active role" in deciding which laws they like and which they don't.

"This is a power grab by Tory ministers who cannot be trusted," says Labour's Helen Goodman.

She objects to clause nine which would allow the government to change the law to comply with the final withdrawal agreement.

"How can the House be expected to agree to this given that the government has refused to share its negotiation objectives?" she asks.

"This is not a perfect bill," says Conservative Jeremy Lefroy and agrees with other MPs that more time is needed to debate the bill at committee stage.

On achieving a smooth Brexit, he argues that there is "very little alternative" to membership to EFTA (Economic Free Trade Association).

Labour's Stephen Doughty says this bill has to be seen in a wider context of recent actions by the government.

"The delays in setting up committees, the programme motion that wants limit time spent on the bill, restrictions on judicial review, the Charities Act seeking to muzzle organisations and the Trade Union Bill."

"It is all part of a similar agenda by the government to shut down democratic debate."

Lib Dem MP Wera Hobhouse says the Brexit bill is a "power grab" by ministers.

Conservative Richard Drax asks critics of delegated powers in the repeal bill where they were when the EU introduced rules without scrutiny.

There's a six minute time limit on speeches in this debate - but plenty of time still to go and plenty of backbench MPs waiting to be called.

At the start, Mr Speaker told the Commons there were 90 MPs who wanted to speak in this debate.

And with Conservative MP Alex Burghart telling MPs that there's no reason why the House shouldn't sit until late, on Fridays, or in recess to get the Brexit bill right, it looks as though the appetite is there for more...

Conservative Alex Burghart pleads with fellow MPs not to forget, "in our quest for Parliamentary scrutiny", that this is a "fiendishly complex transfer of legal powers".

He calls for more time to debate the bill at committee stage.

"We should carry on sitting until our work is done," he says "this is a job that requires sacrifice."

"My constituency voted to leave," says Labour's Vernon Coaker but argues that they did not vote for "leaving at any cost."

"I am not trying to block Brexit," he tells MP "but to get the best from it."

He says that what is on offer from the government will not benefit his constituents.

Local Government Minister Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth asks peers to "keep it in perspective".

He tells peers that "challenges [to business rate decisions] need to be backed by clear arguments".

He defends the new fees for appealing business rates on the grounds it will "help tackle speculative appeals".

The Earl of Lytton is persuaded to withdraw his regret motion, and the House adjourns. Peers return on Tuesday at 2.30pm.

Conservative Richard Graham argues that the delegeated legislation powers in the bill are necessary.

He tells MPs that there are 12,000 pieces of law and that unless delegated legislation powers are included in the bill "the job will not get done in time".

He notes that Brexit Secretary David Davis said the powers contained in the bill would only be used for two years and only to make technical and legal changes.

Labour spokesman Lord Kennedy of Southwark argues that the current level of business rates is "causing problems".

He discusses reported problems with the website which allows rate-payers to raise appeals, describing them as "shocking".

He asks the government to go back and "think carefully".

Lib Dem spokesperson Baroness Pinnock puts forward the view that "root-and-branch reform of business rates is still awaited".

In the meantime, she says the government's actions have "made it more difficult" to use the appeals system and these further changes are "unacceptable".

Conservative Lord Naseby puts it to the Lords that the UK has the "highest property taxes in the whole of the OECD".

He argues the UK "urgently need to become one of the most business-friendly places" in the wake of Brexit, but these regulations "take us in the opposite direction".

"This bill is an attack on democracy," says Lib Dem MP Wera Hobhouse who argues that it allows the government to change laws "behind closed doors".

"How can anyone support this bill?" she asks.

She suggests that those who support the bill do so because "they want their version of Brexit at any price including the price of democracy".

Labour's Lord Beecham notes that the government has "curtailed the opportunity for Parliament to debate" changes to the appeals system for non-domestic rates.

He says it calls attention to the lack of scrutiny for secondary legislation which is itself "a hot issue" in view of the EU Withdrawal Bill.

Conservative Sarah Wollaston argues that the procedure for examining statutory instruments (SIs) needs to be improved - and that this bill is an opportunity to do so.

To illustrate a need for improvement she recalls her own experience, early on in her career as an MP, of dealing with SIs.

"I was told by the whip that I was on the committee to scrutinise the Draft Double Taxation and International Taxation Enforcement Orders," she says.

When she asked the whip for advice she received the following instructions: "Turn up on time, say nothing and vote with the government."
