European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
I find the hon. Gentleman's arguments very persuasive. At least we, as well as Germany, could stand up and be counted. If it is good enough for the Germans, it should be good enough for us. I would like such a provision very much indeed, but is not the worry for our Government in particular that our Parliament is especially likely to exercise that power over Ministers going to the European Council? Is not their concern that we might actually exercise our right to put our foot on the brake?
