Proceeding contribution from Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 22 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
The noble Lord is propagating nonsense, if I may say so. Norway and other countries are obliged under the European Economic Area treaties to apply the single market legislation to their own market. They do not apply them only to the goods that they export to the European Union. The noble Lord would do well to recognise that he would be bossed about by Brussels even if he had his referendum and got us out of the European Union, with all the other damage that that would do to us.
