Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 March 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Constitutional Renewal.
Constitutional Renewal
The hon. Gentleman and I have bored for Britain on the interesting issue that the Karlsruhe federal constitutional court raised called ““competence versus competence.”” The proposal will at least ensure that any treaty is ratified by a statutory process of this Parliament. The current proposal is that, since we have to allow for the possibility—hopefully remote—of a stand-off between this place and the other place, it should be the elected House that decides.
