British Law: Made in Brussels?

Available for over a year

Tim Harford and the More or Less team return for another series on Radio 4. How much British law is made in Brussels? In the lead up to the European elections, UKIP have put the issue back in the spotlight with posters claiming it's 75%. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg says it's 7%. Who's right? And how do we go about working out how much say the EU has in British law? As the aerial search for the Malaysian Airlines plane missing in the Indian ocean is called off, could the statistical ideas of an 18th century Presbyterian minister help find the plane? And it's 60 years since Sir Roger Bannister became the first man to run a mile in less than four minutes. Tim Harford speaks to Sir Roger to find out if four minutes really was seen as an 'impossible' barrier and debunk some myths surrounding his famous run.
