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

European Union Bill

Will my noble and learned friend respond to my point about the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986, which refers in Section 9A specifically to: "““Article 81 of the Treaty establishing the European Community (prohibition on agreements, etc, preventing restricting or distorting competition)””," and, in the following subsection, to Article 82 of that treaty, where it is not by reference to treaties in the 1972 Act but by specific reference to a specific treaty? If the 1972 Act were repealed would these words still not stand?
