European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
May I just test my understanding? Am I right in thinking that my hon. Friend is saying that the original wording of the clause, covered by the Interpretation Act, covered everything, but referring specifically to the European Communities Act 1972 serves to limit the meaning of the clause so that future amendments to the 1972 Act will not be covered by it and are therefore subject to the interpretation of the Supreme Court?
