Theresa May 'misquoted report by peers to justify Brexit Bill power grab'

Theresa May has been accused by senior peers of misquoting a parliamentary committee to justify granting the Government "unprecedented and extraordinary" powers in the Brexit repeal Bill.

The House of Lords Constitution Committee said the legislation, formally known as the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill, "weaves a tapestry of delegated powers that are breath-taking in terms of both their scope and potency".
