  The Law Lords have attributed the supremacy of European Community law in Britain to Parliament's 'entirely voluntary' surrender of sovereignty. This study tells the parliamentary story of how sovereignty came to be lost. It charts the evolution of MPs' constitutional understandings of EC membership and the transformation from a constitution based on politics to one based on law.
