I don't know why someone would down-vote this.
Here it is from the EU [1]
The EU courts and constitution have supremacy over UK Parliament - which is therefore 'not sovereign'.
Technically, you could say that Parliament has to ratify EU laws, which would mean it maintains a degree of sovereignty, but in practice, all softs of rulings made from the EU high courts override UK laws and alter policy.

Parliamentary sovereignty which includes the inability to bind or restrict any future Parliament, is the foundation of UK constitutional law - http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/sovereignty/ http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/sovereignty/
