Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
I have just returned with the European Scrutiny Committee from a visit to Berlin. Would the Foreign Secretary endorse the idea, which we heard there quite a lot, that the acquis is inviolable? Would she rule out in principle the idea that Westminster legislation should be passed in the House to override the European Communities Act 1972 as and when required, and to require the judiciary to give effect to it? It was a very simple sentence.
