European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Richard (Labour) 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.
No, not yet. The next paragraph refers to, "““where the United Kingdom has become a participant in a European Public Prosecutor’s Office, a decision under Article 86(4) … to extend the powers of that Office””." What will you ask in relation to that? Will you say, ““We have already decided that we will be a member of the public prosecutor’s office. Are you, the great British public, now in favour of an extension of those powers””? It is fatuous. How could you possibly campaign on that, and how could you possibly respect any result that you got?
