Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
My hon. Friend makes an important point. The Bill will create a lawyers' paradise because it is so confused and complex. Important issues will have to be decided by the courts as they try to interpret what the Government and Parliament meant, which could lead to decisions that override Parliament and delays to decisions that Parliament might want to make while those legal wrangles are taking place.
