Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

I apologise for interrupting the Minister: I do not want to detain her. I am reflecting on the words she used about President Sarkozy: ““a symbolic gesture without legal force””. Does that mean that it is the Government’s position that what President Sarkozy promised his people was an empty promise?
