Proceeding contribution from Lord Pearson of Rannoch (UK Independence Party) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 May 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union Bill.

European Union Bill

Surely the noble Lord must agree that, as the noble Baroness, Lady Nicholson, said, these other organisations do not make our law. We can leave them tomorrow if we want, with far greater ease than we can leave the European Union. The EU makes our law, which is a difference. We would be in a very different position with an EU army from the one we are in with NATO.
