Proceeding contribution from Tony Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
It is difficult to take entirely seriously the demand for a referendum from people who made the demand even before the treaty existed. The way to resolve all this is simply to say that Parliament will decide—preferably on a free vote. That will maintain parliamentary sovereignty, and enable most of us to follow the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe (Mr. Clarke) into the Lobby of reason and common sense.
