Michael Howard on Newsnight.
There is also the snooping law, which I believe the EU feel breaches human
rights laws.

On yesterday's Newsnight, Michael Howard stated that the EU had overturned
a law passed by the Scottish parliament. Evan Davis didn't challenge this
- I'd guess, like me he didn't know what was being referred to. And
despite some Googling, I can't find out either.
And then stated it was very likely to do the same with a UK one in the
pipeline. Which wasn't expanded on or challenged either.
I'd be surprised if the UK government introduced a bill they knew would be
against EU law, but who knows? If anyone can explain both of his
statements, I'd be grateful.

The nearest I can find is that the EU *might* overturn the Scottish
government's *proposal* (law not yet passed) for minimum alcohol pricing,
saying it *might* be in contravention of free-trade laws. Note the caveats.
This of course has been jumped on by some as being set in tablets of stone.
