Proceeding contribution from Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
It is not the time of night to go into a lengthy disquisition on British constitutional history, but we still live in a representative parliamentary democracy and we still accept that a Government who have a majority in the House of Commons can make laws. However, we are seeking to contradict that with this provision. The amendment that is being moved is a small, modest palliation of that.
