Proceeding contribution from Lord Flight (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.

European Union Bill

I thank the noble Lord for giving way. I spent eight or nine years as a Member of the House of Commons when one particular side had a large majority. I felt that I was simply going through the motions and that there was no prospect of the Opposition members being able to stop that which the Government of the day wished to do. It was an elected tyranny by a large majority.
