Member for Eccles said, the Bill and new clause 1 would apply to many areas. We should not underestimate the inability of new clause 1, or any of the provisions in the Bill, to deal with regulations that emanate from the House under a directive from the European Union. We in the House must ask ourselves two questions. I should like my hon. Friend the Member for South Cambridgeshire to say in winding up whether new clause 1, which Conservative Members support, would deal with that problem.
Friend makes some powerful and cogent points.
He is dealing with whether regulations arise from our own domestic Parliament or from Europe. I draw the attention of the House to my entry in the Register of Members' Interests. I commend the official Conservative agriculture policy, which is now only to implement European regulations at the speed of the slowest European country.
