Proceeding contribution from Lord Waddington (Conservative) 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 noble Baroness asking me a question? If she is, I can answer it briefly. This debate will go on for ever if we open up the question of who might be elected and what they might do. I am simply saying that if, having been elected, a Government felt that they had a mandate to renegotiate, it would be very important to have an amendment such as this one on the statute book to make a reality of that renegotiation. That is all I am saying.
