European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
My hon. Friend is dealing carefully with the points that have been raised, but will he treat seriously the evidence given to the European Scrutiny Committee by Professor Tomkins? At the end of his written evidence, he stated:"““If Parliament is of the view that its sovereignty requires to be freshly articulated and safeguarded in legislation, it would be well advised to proceed with great care and caution, lest the consequences of its actions come to be seen as the proverbial red rag to the bull.””" I am not convinced that the clause, as drafted, would not be that red rag.
