Proceeding contribution from Lord Lawson of Blaby (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
My Lords, the noble Lord keeps saying that the proposal that the Government have put to us means that these questions of opt-in will be subject to the approval of Parliament. However, as the noble Viscount, Lord Bledisloe, made clear in his intervention, these, however important, will effectively be at the very most subject only to the control of one House of Parliament—the House of Commons. That is the issue that faces us today.
