Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 16 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fishery Limits (United Kingdom) Bill [HL].


Fishery Limits (United Kingdom) Bill [HL]

My Lords, is the Minister saying that, if Parliament repealed the relevant section of the 1972 Act, that repeal would not apply? Is he saying that the British Parliament is not able to recover a resource and a policy that it gave away through the 1972 Act? What would happen? Are we now saying that, even if the British Parliament decides that it no longer wishes to be part of a particular policy of the EU, it cannot do anything about it? That is a serious situation.
