European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Dykes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 April 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
That is an improvement, then. The noble Lord is now saying that this country should sign lots of treaties with other countries for all sorts of arrangements. Why can they not include the most sensible treaties of all—the treaties of European union and the two treaties listed in the Bill, which enable us to increase our own intrinsic sovereignty rather than reduce it?
