Proceeding contribution from Lord Wallace of Saltaire (Liberal Democrat) 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 have been following the noble Lord’s argument with interest, but where does he draw the line? Are the Conservatives saying that they now accept the European arrest warrant—they certainly resisted it some time ago—the existence of Eurojust and the existence of Europol, or are those over the line and should we now draw back? It is important to know just how far we are going. I have heard senior members of the CPS say how useful Eurojust is—I am sure that the noble Lord, Lord Kingsland, has heard the same—but do these measures take us beyond the old line, which we have to hold, or do the Conservatives say, ““Thus far, but no further than where we have got to after that””?
