European Union (Amendment) Bill

The Foreign Secretary just said that we need the treaty because it will enable us to make further reforms. At the same time, however, I am sure that he will acknowledge that we cannot achieve those reforms if, as my reasoned amendment, which has not been selected, points out, the Bill does not protect our Parliament's enactments from being struck down by the European Court of Justice and the UK courts. That is what inhibits reform.
