Credit for that is due to a single paragraph in our constitution. It requires all ministers who have matters coming up for deliberation in Union bodies to go before our Grand Committee, which meets every Friday, and explain what course of action they intend to take. If things have worked out differently, the ministers come to explain why that has happened. Affairs remain in our Parliament's hands. That is why I do not want the European Parliament to be given more power.
Business can continue to be taken care of on an intergovernmental basis.
After all, governments are responsible to their own parliaments, whose confidence they must enjoy. Otherwise there is a change of government. That way, responsibility and power remain with the national legislature. For example, the French are quite aloof from EU affairs. Information does not get properly across to them.
