During the first day of Committee Stage of the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, MPs voted by an overwhelming majority in favour of passing Clause 1 of the Bill, which states, quite simply: “The European Communities Act 1972 is repealed on exit day.” Repealing the Act of Parliament that took us into the then EEC in the first place is pretty fundamental to the delivery of Brexit, so BrexitCentral readers will, I imagine, be interested to know how MPs voted in this division. 318 MPs voted for the Clause (320 if you include the two tellers), including 305 Conservatives, 3 Labour MPs (Frank Field, Kate Hoey and Graham Stringer), all 10 DUP MPs and 2 currently Independent MPs. Meanwhile, 68 MPs voted against the Clause (70 including two tellers), including 19 Labour MPs, 10 Lib Dem MPs and all 35 SNP MPs, along with MPs from Plaid Cymru, the Green Party and an Independent. The vast majority of Labour MPs followed their party whip to abstain. Below is the full list of the MPs who voted against the Clause, making them arguably the most anti-Brexit MPs in the Commons.
