Proceeding contribution from Baroness Quin (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

I am grateful to the noble Baroness for giving way. I was a member of the Constitution Committee and was very active in promoting the report on referendums. The noble Baroness should recognise that the committee as a whole was very sceptical about the use of referendums, which it wanted to be used only in very limited circumstances.
