The trade agreement was provisionally applied immediately after the Brexit transition period ended on 31 December 2020, with the act serving as the UK Parliament's ratification of the agreement. Before the agreement comes fully into force, the English version of the treaty needed to be legally checked and tidied up ("scrubbed"), and needed to be adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.
The House of Commons was recalled from recess – the House of Lords was already sitting – to enable the legislation to be debated, and it was passed by 521 votes to 73.
