Business question from James Clappison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Given our current foreign policy and defence commitments, would it not show this House in a bad light if we did not have proper line-by-line scrutiny of the Lisbon treaty, not least because it contains new provisions with possible new defence commitments, including a contingent commitment to European common defence? I ask for more time, please, to save the honour of this House.
