Lord Pearson of Rannoch

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the present status in European law of the Luxembourg Compromise. [HL807]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

The Luxembourg Compromise derives from a political agreement reached in 1966. It has never appeared in the Community treaties and has no formal legal status.
