G8: 2008 Summit (10 Jul 2008)

Lord Pearson of Rannoch: ...of the sun and very little, if at all, by human CO2 emissions? To gauge how seriously the Government may or may not be taking this new scientific theory, supported by a large and growing number of climate scientists, perhaps I may ask whether they have read the regular articles of the redoubtable Mr Christopher Booker in the Sunday Telegraph, which have given some of the theory's detail?...

European Union (Amendment) Bill (11 Jun 2008)

Lord Pearson of Rannoch: ...should come to be made under that system, leaving national parliaments in charge only of the rest. That is just about where we have now arrived since we joined in 1972, after a series of treaty changes that other noble Lords have mentioned. Those treaty changes have, without doubt, steadily increased the EU's share of our national legislation. There really is no doubt that the Lisbon...

European Union (Amendment) Bill (4 Jun 2008)

Lord Pearson of Rannoch: ...The best phrase I can think of to describe them is an "international conference-ariat". They go to conferences all over the world at our expense, very comfortably, to places like Bali to talk about climate change; not that that makes any difference, or that anything we do will make any difference. The line of this new conference-arait is that we increase our sovereignty by surrendering it....

European Union (Amendment) Bill (1 Apr 2008)

Lord Pearson of Rannoch: ..., the Luxembourg Court of Justice. Two other features of the quagmire in which we find ourselves are that powers, once passed to Brussels, cannot be returned to national parliaments, and the treaties can only be changed by unanimity in the Council. That is why we in the UK Independence Party say that renegotiation of the treaties is not realistic. The only way out is the door. Against all...

European Communities (Finance) Bill (4 Feb 2008)

Lord Pearson of Rannoch: ...millions of jobs. I suppose that that is why the Government invent all sorts of other justifications for the project of European integration. They say that, as part of the EU, we can better fight climate change, which is a pointless exercise. They say that we can deal with international drug-trafficking and terrorism, and generally promote peace and goodwill in our time. I fear that I am...

European Council: 13-14 December 2007 (5 Dec 2007)

Lord Pearson of Rannoch: .... Although I support a referendum as being a possible step in the right direction, for me the only sure way out remains the door.
