Treaty of Lisbon (No. 5)

Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 February 2008. It occurred during Debates on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 5).
The Foreign Secretary referred to the exceptions where the ECJ has a role, and I accept, as the European Scrutiny Committee said, that the role is limited. Under the Bill he is excluding the CFSP from implementation into English law. How will he reconcile that with the fact that, in those limited circumstances, the ECJ will, through the European Communities Act 1972, have an impact on British law? Can he reconcile the two positions?
