Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Daylight Saving Bill.

Daylight Saving Bill

I am much more in favour of harmony than harmonisation, particularly on the European Union. Amendment 22, which again stands in the name of my hon. Friend the Member for Shipley, states:"““Membership of the Group must be ratified by a resolution of both Houses of Parliament.””" It introduces a modest safeguard to try to ensure that the group is truly independent. What could be wrong with this House having an opportunity to ratify the membership of the group or to table amendments to remove individual members from or add them to it?
