Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) 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

I shall try to answer the points raised in the debate on new clause 1, which talks about the ““outcome of the review””. The heart of the matter is the point at which the certificate to be issued by the Treasury would be debated in the House. When I intervened on the shadow Chief Secretary, his answer summed up the problem with the new clause. He referred me to paragraph 80 of the Commission document, which talks about a White Paper or report to be issued in the relevant time frame, but that is not the same as the ““outcome of the review””.
