European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 22 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
I am sorry to interrupt my noble friend, but I want to make it absolutely clear on the Cornish pasty issue that Cornwall fought for 10 years to get that definition. It has been welcomed by the Cornish pasty industry in Cornwall. Under British legislation, it was never possible to keep the name Cornwall for pasties produced in Cornwall only; the same was true for clotted cream. It was a great victory to us, which became possible only through European legislation.
