Proceeding contribution from Lord Brooke of Sutton Mandeville (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (Northern Ireland Political Parties) Order 2008.


Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (Northern Ireland Political Parties) Order 2008

My Lords, the momentary hesitation on the government Front Bench as to whether the phrase ““or another member State”” refers to the EU or the EU plus the EEA causes me to question again whether those words are by themselves enough. Unless it is a term of art, familiar to all constitutional lawyers, it seems curious that what ““another”” alludes to has not been described in the text.
