European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Austin Mitchell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
I am trying to follow the argument, but, being a European argument, it is very difficult to follow. Surely the situation is that if we pass a law that negates the implementation of a European Union law in this country, our courts would have to accept the European Union law rather than ours. We could not pass such a law unless we specifically exempted it from the European Communities Act 1972.
