The Parliaments both of England and of Scotland did at the time of the Union each transfer sovereign power to a new sovereign body, namely the Parliament of Great Britain.

The British Parliament did in 1782 surrender its sovereignty in Ireland to the Irish Parliament.

In 1800 both the British Parliament and the Irish Parliament alienated or surrendered their sovereign powers to the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Compare Dicey, _Law of the Constitution_ (7th ed.), note 3, p.

65.
[35] It may, I am quite aware, be argued that the presence of Irish representatives is not requisite for the maintenance of parliamentary supremacy.
