Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 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 very much endorse much of what my right hon. Friend has said—[Hon. Members: ““All of it!””] I said what I said. It is not always a question of what is said; it is sometimes about what is left out. With respect to parliamentary approval, there are many instances where other member states have agreed to things by qualified majority voting with which we would not have agreed and have been through procedures that amount to no more than decree. In other words, they have not scrutinised the stuff properly. Effectively, we are at the end of the line.
