HL Deb 25 October 1993 vol 549 cc68-9WA
Lord Stoddart of Swindon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether increased powers given to the European institutions and the extension of majority voting in the Council of Ministers under the Maastricht Treaty will place Her Majesty the Queen in contravention of the Coronation Oath whereby Her Majesty swore to govern her subjects "according to their laws".

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

No provision in the Maastricht Treaty places Her Majesty the Queen in contravention of the Coronation Oath.
