Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

The right hon. Gentleman, in some dispute with my hon. Friend the Member for North East Somerset (Jacob Rees-Mogg), suggested that decisions taken by the Council of Ministers were not legislative acts. Can he think of anything that is more of a legislative act than when, by a majority vote, the decision that is taken is binding upon this House without our having any opportunity to intervene?
