Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

My Lords, can my noble friend not see what he is doing? What the public outside the House see is a former Commissioner arguing a case which he thinks does not have to be put to the public, probably because the public will not understand it. That is so arrogant and so offensive to the electorate that it is not a profitable thing to say in the House.
