Lords ChamberNo, we have not agreed to that because we are leaving on 30 March 2019.
My Lords, is the Minister aware that the UK has been outvoted on all 77 laws that we have opposed in the Council in the last 20 years? We have been outvoted more than any other country in the so-called Parliament. Does this Question not make the fundamental mistake of suggesting that there is any democratic accountability in the EU, which it is designed to expunge?
The noble Lord will no doubt be very happy that we are leaving on 30 March 2019.
