Lord Whitty Excerpts

Wednesday 24th October 2018 Lords Chamber

Moved by

[Lord Whitty]

To resolve that this House considers that the Commission Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council discontinuing seasonal changes of time and repealing Directive 2000/84/EC (COM(2018)639, Council Document 12118/18) does not comply with the principle of subsidiarity, for the reasons set out in the 22nd Report from the European Union Committee (HL Paper 200); and, in accordance with article 6 of the Protocol on the application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality, instructs the Clerk of the Parliaments to forward this reasoned opinion to the Presidents of the European institutions.

[Lord Whitty (Lab)]

My Lords, I have already spoken to this Motion in my earlier remarks. I beg to move.

Motion agreed.
