Proceeding contribution from Lord Archer of Sandwell (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 3 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Constitutional Reform (Prerogative Powers and Civil Service etc.) Bill [HL].


Constitutional Reform (Prerogative Powers and Civil Service etc.) Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. Does he accept that, in relation to the requirement of parliamentary authority for treaties, by the time the question of ratification arises, it will be known to what the treaty commits us? It is not giving the Government a blank cheque.
