Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

In ““Alice Through the Looking Glass””, Lewis Carroll writes:"““'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.'""'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'""'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be Master—that's all.'””" That is the key question because the master is not to be this national Parliament.
