Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Government: Legislative Programme.
Government: Legislative Programme
My Lords, first, this is a startling departure from previous arrangements. Presumably, Her Majesty the Queen has been consulted on this. It would be interesting to know that. Secondly, on placing Parliament’s right to ratify treaties on a statutory basis, presumably this House will still be involved in the ratification process. Does it mean—I am thinking especially of European Union treaties—that Parliament will be able to amend treaties, or will it still have to accept either the whole or nothing at all?
