Proceeding contribution from Jim Murphy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intergovernmental Conference.
Intergovernmental Conference
As I have said, we will not accept any important transfer of sovereignty away from the United Kingdom. The right hon. Gentleman voted against a referendum on Maastricht, which was much more substantial than this treaty. I can do no more than quote him:"““If we sign the Amsterdam Treaty, we will abolish our country.””" He was wrong then, and he is wrong now.
