No blank cheque for unelected May government (not even whole cabinet - cabinet committee)

Not to pass the "great repeal bill" unless it contains a clause clearly stating that Parliament will have the right to amend or veto the outcome of the negotiations of the UNELECTED May government with the EU. Particularly as those involved will not only be led by an unelected PM, but will also not even be the full cabinet, but a "cabinet committee" (guess who selects the members) with full cabinet powers.

Why is this important?

Unless the right of Parliamentary amendment/veto of the outcome is included, May and co will be given a BLANK CHEQUE to decide the future of the whole UK (including the 62% of the electorate who did not vote to leave) without any checks or balances. It would mean that we will have "taken back sovereignty" from Europe only to hand it to a handful of cabinet ministers and take it completely out of the hands of Parliament.
