Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
The lay men are floundering. My noble and learned friend rests a great deal on the importance of the definitions in the 1972 Act and said that if the Act were repealed these words would be repealed as well. I take it that he in fact means that the definition would be repealed but the words would still have a meaning and therefore the meaning could well be that intended in the original Act.
