The Home Office has been accused of railroading controversial EU laws on the movement of prison inmates between member states through Parliament. (source) 

MPs were not given a chance to debate the plan, which will become UK law, the EU scrutiny committee has claimed.  

Labour MP Lindsay Hoyle accused the minister of having "total disregard" for Parliament's right to scrutiny.

Tory MP William Cash told Mrs Ryan it was not just a row about the process but could result in a British national, convicted abroad, being transferred back to the UK against his will and imprisoned here for conduct which is not criminal in this country. 

Ms Ryan said she regretted that they had not had time to debate the legislation, before the meeting of Justice and Home Affairs Council in Brussels in February.

She said the process had been speeded up when Germany took over the EU presidency 

Again, we find Germany at the centre, with this government holding Parliament in contempt as a result.

Why the rush, not just with this piece of legislation, but the rush to create the European Constitution, the rush for ID cards, the rush for ePassports, the rush for the ID cards and passports data to be shared, the rush for databases (right across europe) for DNA, for police forces, for childrens finger prints, for personal details, the rush to share it all, the rush for more and more legislation to limit the rights of citizens.

When will people realise that what Germany failed to do through force of arms in the 1940’s, they are now doing through the UNELECTED EUROPEAN COMMISSION. Nearly 70pct of all European Directives have been proposed either by Germans or Belgians, and they now make up most of our UK Laws.
