European Union Bill

I am afraid that that is not relevant to the Bill. Matthew d'Ancona has said:"““Imperfect though it may be, the bill is a dramatic punctuation mark in the history of Britain's relationship with the European Union.””" Opposition Members ought to accept that. They ought to acknowledge that the Bill is a ground-breaking, landmark piece of legislation which will do that which has not been done in this country for decades, and give the general public the rights that they so obviously desire in relation to the European Union and further expansion of its powers.
