European Union (Scrutiny) Bill, 2001 changed from European Union Bill, 2001: Second Stage.
The Single European Act was a great success for this country. We were fond of the derogations – perhaps too much so. We actually relented on some of the derogations we received but generally speaking we got a tremendous deal in Europe so far as the Single European Act was concerned. The interests of all Departments were well catered for by our excellent negotiating team.
