Proceeding contribution from Lord Sewel (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 April 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
Hang on. The argument is that having a permanent presidency makes the EU into a country. I am a member of a number of associations and organisations that have permanent presidencies and they are not countries. My local cricket club has a permanent secretary, and that is not a country.
