Proceeding contribution from Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 January 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on European Communities (Finance) Bill.


European Communities (Finance) Bill

Although the Liberal Democrat approach is different from that of the Conservatives, they are asking perfectly legitimate questions about parliamentary scrutiny. Will the Chief Secretary explain what would happen if the ratification deadline was not met by January 2009? Will he talk us through the nuclear option? What exactly will happen, legally and financially, if that deadline is not met?
