That this House recognises the result of the 2016 referendum namely that the UK should leave the European Union and proposes to do so on the basis of the current draft Withdrawal Agreement including the provisions on the rights of EU citizens living in the UK, the financial settlement and the Implementation Period subject to the backstop solution on Northern Ireland being superseded by an agreement as envisaged in Appendix A of the 11 March 2019 ‘Statement that Political Agreement has been reached’ that establishes alternative arrangements based on existing customs procedures and EU Regulations on a permanent footing to ensure the absence of a hard border on the island of Ireland while protecting the integrity of the EU’s internal market and the territorial integrity of the United Kingdom.
