Proceeding contribution from Lord Sewel (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 22 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

I am grateful to the noble Baroness for giving way. She has touched on the difficulty of significance —of what is significant and what is insignificant—and has asked the Minister to give examples. Does that not hint at the real possibility that the difference between significant and insignificant will be before the courts virtually every time this issue comes up?
