Proceeding contribution from Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 14 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on EU: UK Membership.


EU: UK Membership

My Lords, I wonder if the noble Lord can say whether his strictures about having been employees of the Commission or the European Parliament—I hope that he did not include me among them, because although I was, my pension was repatriated—would extend to those Members of your Lordships’ House who are drawing pensions from the British Government? Does that mean they have a conflict of interest when they speak on matters of national interest?
