Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 1 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Debate on select committee report on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

My Lords, I am very pleased that the noble Lord has allowed me to intervene and I do not think that I am breaking any rules of the House by doing so. What I want is some clarification from the noble Lord, who is normally extremely clear. The Liberal Democrats had one position at the election and a second position in the House of Commons. Is the noble Lord telling us today that he is coming up with a third position or is he going to stick to the position that the Liberal Democrats took in the House of Commons?
