EU: European Justice and Home Affairs Powers

Debate between Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon and Lord Wood of Anfield

Monday 15th October 2012 Lords Chamber

[Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon]

My Lords, if we take the Labour Benches and then we will move back to the Cross Benches and the government Benches.

[Lord Wood of Anfield]

My Lords, in the event that we opt out and then persuade 26 other EU countries of the importance of us opting back in on an individual item, would the act of opting back in trigger a referendum under the Government’s own legislation?
