Proceeding contribution from Lord Spicer (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

My Lords, I had not meant to say anything at all until I heard some of the arguments. It seems that the 1972 Act is not totally invulnerable. Factortame was a nasty scare. Therefore, the last thing that we want to do at this stage is to throw further doubt on the 1972 Act by talking about ““an Act”” rather than the 1972 Act.
