Proceeding contribution from Lord Wallace of Saltaire (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 May 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

My Lords, Article 170 says: "““To help achieve the objectives referred to in Articles 26 and 174””," et cetera, "““the Union shall contribute to the establishment and development of trans-European networks in the areas of transport, telecommunications and energy infrastructures””." That seems to me very much to give the competences needed.
