Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

I will make some progress. I have urged patience on the hon. Gentleman, and I continue to do so. Subsection (4) uses the word ““terminology””. The right hon. Member for Wells seemed to believe that subsection (4) included the word ““definition”” rather than the word ““terminology””. If the word ““definition”” were used in subsection (4) instead of the word ““terminology””, I would support his amendment. However, if the word ““definition”” had been used instead of the word ““terminology””, the Government would not have drafted subsection (5), which the right hon. Member for Wells wants to amend, in its current form.
