Proceeding contribution from Stuart Bell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intergovernmental Conference.


Intergovernmental Conference

Will the Minister eschew the seductive suggestion of the hon. Member for Rayleigh (Mr. Francois) to remove the word ““shall”” from provisions on democratic principles and replace it with the word ““may””? He will be aware that the particular provision covers subsidiarity, proportionality, freedom, security, justice, treaty revision and inter-parliamentary co-operation, all subjects that are of some interest to every Member of this House.
