Clause 12 - Sections 10 and 11: supplementary
European Parliament (Representation) Bill
3:45 pm
Mr William Cash (Stone, Conservative)
I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on a perceptive comment. He is right: all these things are artificial in the sense in which he has described them. What is not artificial is the fact that the Lord Chancellor is taking these powers against the background that we have already discussed. The short point is that we shall seek to divide the Committee on the amendment.
