Treaty of Lisbon (No. 7)

Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 February 2008. It occurred during Debates on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 7).
On the important point that my hon. Friend the Member for Beverley and Holderness (Mr. Stuart) raised, and to which the Minister has just begun to give an answer, does he agree that it is well established in case law of the House of Lords that it is possible for the United Kingdom to make provisions that contradict provisions of the 1972 Act and all the Community obligations that flow from it, providing that such legislation is express, consistent and clearly intended to achieve that objective? In those circumstances, courts of the United Kingdom will give effect to the latest Act that complies with those criteria. Does the Minister agree with that?
