What do people in N.Ireland need to know about the #WithdrawalAgreementBill?
(for reasons obvs to folk in NI, I wonโ€™t use the acronym ๐Ÿ˜•).

I gave an interview to @BBCgmu this am, & here are the key points...

TL;DR: Hugely important for NI but ltd. scope & time to affect.

@BBCgmu The Bill puts the #WithdrawalAgmt into domestic law.

๐Ÿ“ฃ**REMEMBER: the difference btn this WA & Mayโ€™s is the Protocol on NI/IRL โ€“ so hugely important for N.Ireland **

This Bill sees amendments to the NI Act (1998) to reflect the Protocol. But no new devolved powers per se.

@BBCgmu The last time this WA came to Parl it fell on the matter of the timetable for processing the Bill.

MPs then saw the 3 days allowed for scrutinising the detail & tabling amendments as outrageously tight for such an important bill.

It'll be 3 days this time round too. ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ
