Proceeding contribution from Tony Blair (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
I think I have explained already why I believe this to be completely different—because the constitutional treaty notion has been abandoned. Instead, we have gone back to a conventional amending treaty, and the truth is that we have never had referendums on such treaties. Let us also be very clear that the reason why the hon. Gentleman wants a referendum is to vote no, and he would vote no whatever was in the treaty.
