Proceeding contribution from Lord Vaizey of Didcot (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of time motion).
Video Recordings Bill (Allocation of Time)
We are in danger of descending into sophistry. It is an Act of Parliament, but it is a toothless one unless it is referred to Brussels. That is the situation that we are in, but we are not having a debate on Europe and its encroaching powers. Through interventions on the Minister, we have asked how many other Acts of this British Parliament might be toothless, and we look forward to him telling us when the Cabinet Office will report on its audit of every single Act passed since the technical standards directive was put into force.
