Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (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

There appears to be a contradiction in the Minister's position. Earlier, he told us that the context meant that ““shall”” could not under any circumstances be mandatory, yet a moment later he told us that the House of Lords Committee was reassured by the removal of that word. There is a certain lack of clarity on where the Government stand.
