These were originally set up under a "Solemn Resolution" that no British ministers could approve laws made in Brussels unless the peers and MPs had first given the go-ahead. But in practice this has been ignored wholesale, because there is nothing Parliament can do to stand in the way of that inexorable Brussels juggernaut.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics7_flood_uk.jpg
