European Union (Amendment) Bill

I was waiting for the noble Lord to finish his point. Would he agree that, of the 24 members of your Lordships’ European Union Select Committee, only one is a declared Eurosceptic? Even he does not favour the position shared by millions of British people: that the United Kingdom should leave the European Union. Does the noble Lord understand that many of us—I made this point in November when the committee was reappointed—do not accept your Lordships’ Select Committee report as having the authority which the noble Lord would wish to confer on it?
