European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
But is not the argument between my right hon. Friends precisely the problem? Surely Parliament must be sovereign because the people must be sovereign. What will happen in future if there is some row about whether a referendum should take place or not once the Bill becomes law? Will not our affairs then become justiciable? Is that not an attack on the sovereignty of Parliament, which we must believe in?
