Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodhart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
Would my noble friend accept that it is impossible for a court to make decisions on what is done in the Houses of Parliament? If the Minister declares, therefore, that he believes something to be—or not to be—a matter of importance, it is not a matter that could then go to the courts. It would be settled by the House itself.
