Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
Even though legislation can in a sense bind our successors, our successors can introduce legislation to annul previous legislation. There is a difference between the automatic disappearance of legislation at an election and an Opposition party coming into government with the commitment to reverse legislation. That is still possible, so our successors will not be bound absolutely.
