Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

Is the problem not that we have incorporated European law into the domestic law of the United Kingdom, and the only way to go against it is to repeal the 1972 Act which did that? It is not a question of looking into the future as to what further matters may come up, and Parliament taking a different view. We would have to go back to the 1972 Act and repeal it, taking it out of domestic law.
