Proceeding contribution from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
The hon. Gentleman is making a powerful case for Parliaments not binding their successors. The logic of his argument is surely that at the start of each Parliament, this country's membership of the European Union and the legislation on the European Union should be reconfirmed.
