Proceeding contribution from Lord Vinson (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, it is beyond most people because, as the noble Lord clearly and often makes the point, he and his party do not believe in the nation state. He has just said that they believe in pooled sovereignty. Behind this question is the deep underlying anxiety of the British people about how one can pool sovereignty and maintain democracy. The two are irreconcilable. I hope that he will answer that point.
