This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition I request that Parliament review the legallity of the signing of 1972 European Communities Bill
More details
In enacting the European Communities Bill through an ordinary vote in the House of Commons, Edward Heath and his Government breached the constitutional convention which requires a prior consultation of the people (either by a general election or a referendum) on any measure involving constitutional change. The general election or referendum must take place before any related parliamentary debate. (Britain has no straightforward written constitution. But, the signing of the Common Market entrance documents was, without a doubt, a breach of the spirit of our constitution.)
