Background
This decision affects the territorial integrity of the United Kingdom and its Overseas Territories. We believe that bypassing parliamentary approval and denying the public a voice in such a significant matter undermines democratic accountability.
The government must not transfer sovereign territory without a full parliamentary debate and vote. We urge MPs to consider this a matter of confidence in the leadership of the Prime Minister.
