Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

Does my hon. Friend also agree that, in the context of Van Gend en Loos, Costa and all the other cases that declaration 17, which is attached to the Lisbon treaty, covers, there is no attempt, in declaring the primacy of European law, to define the word ““primacy””? Similarly, there is no need to define parliamentary sovereignty. My answer to the Government's point on that issue is, ““Tosh””.
