Proceeding contribution from Lord Bowness (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 12 December 2008. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on EU Legislation (EUC Report).


EU Legislation (EUC Report)

My Lords, I hesitate to interrupt, but it seems to me that the noble Lord is ignoring what the report says. It has been said time and again that, while the Commission proposes, it does not put the result into law. Does the noble Lord accept that? It is put by the Council of Ministers or by the Council of Ministers and the Parliament. That is a fact, whatever one’s opinion about law in Europe may be.
