NLJ: Could the Lords kill the Internal Market Bill?

It’s already been criticised by ex-Prime Ministers, sparked an international spat and led to high-profile resignations, but how will the story of the Internal Market Bill end?

NLJ columnist Professor Michael Zander QC tracks the parliamentary journey of this most controversial of Bills. The Salisbury Convention may not apply to clauses 42-45, he writes, and there is a chance the Bill may not make it through the Lords.

The mystery, of course, as Professor Zander points out, is ‘how and why the government allowed itself to get into this considerable mess’.
