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
On one small point of fact, the noble Lord, Lord Howell, said that we have just given up the veto on the annual budget. The annual budget has been adopted by a majority vote by a provision of the Treaty of Rome which was negotiated before we joined, which we have applied. Therefore, it has been taken by a majority vote throughout the period of our membership. It really is not wise to adduce changes which have not taken place during the period of our membership.
