European Union (Amendment) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Gwyneth Dunwoody (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
The Foreign Secretary might find himself alone in holding that point of view. May I ask him a simple question? He cited the preamble as though it had the effect of the treaty. Is it not true, however, that in all European legislation a preamble is clearly understood not to have legal status?
