Presumption of Innocence and EU Law

Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 February 2014. It occurred during Debate on Presumption of Innocence and EU Law.

On the red card, does my hon. Friend accept that, in line with the fourth principle of the Bloomberg speech, which is that national Parliaments are the root of our democracy, there are circumstances in the national interest where a mere collection—an aggregation; a small number—of countries coming together on a red card would not be enough and that, in line with

precedents, it would be advisable for the United Kingdom Government to accept the idea of the disapplication of laws altogether?
