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


European Union Bill

As the noble Lord, Lord Kerr, has already said—he has more experience than me—there are three very distinguished ex-Chancellors sitting below me. Would not the rate at which we enter—such a delicate matter as far as markets are concerned—normally be decided after markets had closed, say on a Friday, and revealed before markets opened on Monday? The risk of doing it any other way would be substantial. Perhaps former Chancellors have something to say on the matter.
