Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on A Citizens’ Agenda.
A Citizens’ Agenda
My hon. Friend tempts me to begin negotiations well before they need to start. She will be aware of a provision in the Nice treaty that goes a small way to delivering what she wants, in that after 1 January next year, the number of commissioners will, in the event of further enlargement, be reduced below the number of member states. However, it has to be discussed further before implementation.
