Clause 2 - request for arrest and surrender
International Criminal Court [Lords]
4:30 pm
Mr Crispin Blunt (Reigate, Conservative)
Indeed it is, as my hon. and learned Friend points out, and smaller than Reigate and Redhill combined. That demonstrates the wider argument that we had this morning. If the United Kingdom wants to exercise as much influence in this institution to represent our citizens, we should break ourselves up into fully independent county-sized areas, each with a population of about 1 million. We would then all accede to the court and the United Kingdom would manage to collect together 60 votes.
