Proceeding contribution from Lord Lamont of Lerwick (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, but could he explain something for those of us having difficulties in following the subtle implications of the answer? If these agricultural interests are strongly represented at the Council of Ministers level—presumably, because Ministers feel political pressure from public opinion and constituencies—why would that be different at a parliamentary level?
