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


European Union Bill

I am most grateful to the noble Lord for giving way, but he has managed in about three sentences to say three incorrect things. He said that in moving the amendment, we paid no attention to what he referred to as the big five. If he had listened to my introductory statement, he would have heard that, exactly to the contrary, we have amended the text that we had on the table in Committee by including Schengen and the international military force. If I may say so, it is clearly not sensible in our debate to pay no attention whatever to the person who introduces the amendment. I covered all that quite thoroughly.
