Proceeding contribution from Lord Radice (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 13 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
Is the noble Lord, Lord Hamilton, actually arguing that it is not legitimate to amend this Bill? He is coming very close to that. This amendment is trying to accept the principle of referendum but confine it to the major issues, as our own Constitution Committee suggested was the best way forward. It is trying to escape from the fact that this Bill has referenda for 56 separate issues, which brings the whole idea of referendum into disrepute.
