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

My Lords, I ask the Minister not to pursue the road that he is about to go down. I think that it is common ground on all sides of the House that no one wants to see a major reform of the European institutional arrangements in the near future. However, in order to get out of the mess that he has got into with this mass of trivia that can be subjected to individual referendums, he now tells us that we can all relax because we can have a big package that will deal with them as one. Please—please—do not.
