<p>Mr Davis said the Government&#8217;s defeat in a historic court battle over Brexit in the Supreme Court would not derail Theresa May&#8217;s timetable to kick off the two-year process of withdrawal negotiations.</p>
<p>He said the Supreme Court ruling did not affect the fact Britain will be leaving the EU in line with the result of the 2016 referendum, telling MPs: &#8220;There can be no turning back.</p>
<p>&#8220;The point of no return was passed on June 23 last year.&#8221;</p>
<p>By a majority of eight to three, judges at the Supreme Court rejected the Government&#8217;s argument the British Prime Minister could use prerogative powers to kick off the talks under Article 50, ruling instead it must first seek Parliament&#8217;s approval.</p>
<p>In a statement to the UK&#8217;s House of Commons, Mr Davis said this would be done by means of &#8220;the most straightforward Bill possible to give effect to the decision of the people and respect the Supreme Court&#8217;s judgment&#8221;.</p>
<p>The purpose of the bill will be &#8220;simply to give the Government the power to invoke Article 50 and begin the process of leaving the European Union&#8221;, he said.</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;Parliament will rightly scrutinise and debate this legislation but I trust no-one will seek to make it a vehicle for attempts to thwart the will of the people or frustrate or delay the process of exiting the European Union.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Davis said: &#8220;This is not about whether or not the UK should leave the EU.</p>
<p>&#8220;That decision has already been made by the people of the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will work with colleagues in both Houses to ensure this Bill is passed in good time for us to invoke Article 50 by the end of March.&#8221;</p>
<p>With Labour declaring it will not frustrate the invocation of Article 50, there was little doubt the Prime Minister can get a bill through Parliament.</p>
<p>But she risks having her hands tied in negotiations by any conditions inserted by MPs into the legislation, with the Scottish National Party declaring it will table 50 &#8220;serious and substantive&#8221; amendments.</p>
