Proceeding contribution from Jacob Rees-Mogg (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 evidence that we received focused on the ““notwithstanding”” approach—that is, that one could not accidentally repeal, or move, an Act that was contrary to the 1972 Act; one would have to do it explicitly. That is different from most other Acts of Parliament that can impliedly be repealed. This is where we come back to Lord Justice Laws' judgment, which has been de facto accepted.
