European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
Is not one of the problems with the Bill the fact that it makes the decision on whether to hold a referendum justiciable, and therefore a matter to be decided by the courts, when it is surely a political decision for which elected Members of Parliament ought to take the rap at the ballot box if they get it wrong?
