Rapid Reaction Force
Under the comming UK Presidency of the European Union, will Tony Blair and his Government be breaking the law, if they allow the continuance of the development of - the European Defence Agency - A European Gendarmerie and The Rapid Reaction Force
The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (Mr. Jack Straw): With permission, Mr Speaker, I should like to make a statement on the EU constitutional treaty, following the no votes in referendums in France and the Netherlands last week. I shall explain why we have decided to postpone the Second Reading of the European Union Bill
The Bill of Rights 1689, states quite clearly:- That levying money for or to the use of the crown, by pretence of prerogative, without grant of parliament, for longer time, or in other manner than the same is or shall be granted, is illegal.
That the raising or keeping a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with consent of parliament, is against law.
Is there anybody out there, with the knowledge and funds to develop this argument?
