Proceeding contribution from Steve Baker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.

European Union Bill

May I say how grateful I am that my right hon. Friend has given this clear statement of the Government's and Parliament's intent? We appear to have disappeared into such esoterica that even for one who takes a close interest in the clause it is almost impossible to understand the debate. Will the Minister confirm that should judges need to rule on this clause, they will be able to refer to Hansard to be absolutely clear what Parliament's intent was?
