Proceeding contribution from Lord Norton of Louth (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on European Parliament (House of Lords Disqualification) Regulations 2008.
European Parliament (House of Lords Disqualification) Regulations 2008
My Lords, the noble Lord is not addressing the issue that we raised. The problem is not the principle that is embodied in the order; the drafting of the order is the problem. I accept that the ban on the dual mandate is now a fact, but it creates a particular problem for this House, which the order seeks to correct. The problem is in the drafting of the order. The order is deficient; not the principle that underlies it.
