If you want bits to remain in UK law you need to put these new bills through parliament.
You can't have a treaty being law when the treaty is not the law. It's a bit like being half pregnant
Indeed! And that is just what you did by passing the WA bill through parliament. So no need for more bills. The issue is settled already.
The Bill provides for the direct application of the Withdrawal Agreement provisions in
domestic law where relevant, whilst also recognising the sovereignty of the Parliament of the
United Kingdom. The Bill amends the EU (Withdrawal) Act 2018 to ensure it reflects the terms
of the Withdrawal Agreement. The Bill also creates powers to make secondary legislation,
where appropriate, to enable the Withdrawal Agreement to be implemented domestically. It
includes amendments to the Northern Ireland Act 1998 in relation to rights, safeguards and
equality of opportunity protections contained in the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement 1998.
All these measures provide for the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement agreed
between the UK and the EU pertaining to the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.
