Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 November 2016. It occurred during Debate on Exiting the EU and Workers’ Rights.
Exiting the EU and Workers’ Rights
Currently all workers’ rights are guaranteed by the European Court of Justice. After we leave they will be guaranteed by the Supreme Court, advised by us. Therefore, in the future they can all be ripped up if we leave the EU, if that is the choice of future Governments; if we stay in the EU they cannot be ripped up but are guaranteed. They are guaranteed only under EU law. They cannot be sustainably guaranteed by the Secretary of State.
