No aim to bypass debate in Keys
The introduction of a European Union and Trade Bill is not an attempt to bypass debate in the House of Keys, according to the chief minister.
Howard Quayle argued the necessity of the legislation in the chamber yesterday (TUESDAY).
One member voted against the bill, with two voting to suspend standing orders for a second reading.
Supporters say the bill would make dealing with new laws after Brexit easier.
Mr Quayle moved to ease fears about the ramifications the European Bill could have.
