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 am very glad to hear that, because these are matters of English historical significance. I simply make that point, because it is important for us to remember that Governments—whether it be the Stuarts, or, more recently, in the mid-20th century, with Government nationalisation programmes—have periodically in our history attempted to drive through legislation with the effect of imposing an authority that did not have parliamentary approval of the kind that we are searching for in these amendments.
