Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Fixed-term Parliaments Bill.
Fixed-term Parliaments Bill
Sorry, 1689. My hon. and learned Friend will keep me up to the mark, because he is much more of a lawyer than I am. In recent years, however, the tension between the courts and the independence of this House has been thrown into relief. I remind the Committee of cases such as the one brought by Lord Rees-Mogg for judicial review of the ratification of the Maastricht treaty after this House had passed an Act of Parliament.
