Proceeding contribution from Peter Bottomley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon).
Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon)
The Prime Minister has not answered the question whether there will be a free vote for his side on a referendum. We now know that the Liberals will opt out. Will he say whether, given the question marks described by some of his colleagues and the doubts about the language, which he himself referred to in December, he will let the British people—rather than just him and his Government—decide whether the treaty should be signed?
