Could the government introduce a sovereignty law?

World at One

Available for over a year

The BBC's Deputy Political Editor, James Landale, says the idea of a sovereignty law so that the House of Commons asserts the supremacy of UK law over European law is "clearly being discussed behind the scenes." It's an agenda being pushed by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and the Prime Minister is examining whether Germany's Constitutional Court model could in any way be applied to the UK.
