Proceeding contribution from Lord Liddle (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.
European Union Bill
My concern throughout the Bill has been for the position of Britain in Europe and that it should remain an active partner in the European Union. I fear that the provisions of the Bill will ultimately prevent us from being so. I am sorry that some Liberal Democrats appear to think that this was not a matter of high principle: it is a matter of high principle to which I have committed my political life.
