Proceeding contribution from Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 22 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
These referendums are mandatory. The Bill requires that these transfers of competence away from this nation to the European Union in these very important and fundamental areas cannot take place without the approval of a referendum. I hope that that clarifies the matter.
