European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Michael Connarty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 March 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
May I suggest a much simpler piece of logic to explain why the new clause would probably not be helpful? If the hon. Gentleman has ever attended a European Committee, whose members are supplied with a large volume of documentation that they are supposed to read before debating the issue and taking a position when voting, he will realise that most do not read it. The more information that is supplied on European matters, the more paper that is provided, which will not be read.
