Ensure that Article 50 can only be triggered after an act of parliament.

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Given the 1972 European Communities Act, the prime minister does not have constitutional authority to lawfully trigger Article 50 until such time as a new parliamentary act is passed giving him or her this authority. This petition gives support for formal debate on this and for blocking Brexit.
