European Parliament Elections (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
1:00 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
On a point of order, the Council decision, which I read, refers to a subsequent poll. I understand this is not a once-off derogation. The Minister referred to practicalities. However these will arise indefinitely. It would make sense for the derogation to be indefinite. However, the Government has implemented this as a once-off derogation.
