European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020

Get Brexit done and leave the European Union.

The bill's long title explicitly states it is 'A Bill to implement, and make other provision in connection with, the agreement between the United Kingdom and the EU under Article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union which sets out the arrangements for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU.' This directly addresses the promise to 'Get Brexit done and leave the European Union' by implementing the Article 50 withdrawal agreement, which is the legal mechanism for the UK to cease being an EU member state. The bill has received Royal Assent, making it an Act of Parliament, which means it has legal force to implement the withdrawal arrangements.
