Business question from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 July 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May I point out that there is little parliamentary time between now and the intergovernmental conference in October that will agree the text of the new EU reform treaty? So far, the Government have been singularly unable to explain what is substantially different between the new treaty and the old constitution, for which they granted a referendum. Will she therefore guarantee that there will be a full day’s debate on the subject before Ministers depart for the conference?
