"The House of Lords Constitution Committee today publishes a report, The invoking of Article 50, in which it states that Government should not trigger Article 50 without consulting Parliament. The Committee says it would be 'constitutionally inappropriate' and would set 'a disturbing precedent' for the Government to act on the referendum without explicit parliamentary approval. "
Article 50 needs to be triggered, to be on the safe side, by 31 March 2017, as the blocking majority for legislation under QMV falls from 75 percent to 55 percent.
