HC Deb 17 May 1978 vol 950 cc168-9W
Mr. Lee

asked the Attorney-General if, in view of the judgment of the Court of the Community in the case of the Italian Revenue v. S.A. Monza, Italy, and other similar cases in that Court, purporting inter alia to limit the legislative competence of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and all other Common Market Parliaments, he will now make a statement setting out the extent to which the powers of Parliament have been reduced since 31st December 1972.

The Attorney-General

The text of the judgment is not yet available in English, but from reports which I have seen it does not appear that the powers of Parliament as the supreme legislative authority in the United Kingdom have been reduced since 31st December 1972.
