Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon).
Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon)
The charter records but does not create new rights and the protocol has the full force of law. That is both the legal advice that we have had and, I suspect, the legal advice that anybody else who has looked at the issue has had. I believe that the Confederation of British Industry has also looked at it very closely, and it has come to the view that we have defended the British national interest.
