Proceeding contribution from Lord Lilley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

Will the Foreign Secretary now cut to the chase and spell out the specific transfers of power in the original constitution that, in the Government's opinion, justified a referendum, but which are not in this treaty—thus, in the Government's view, nullifying their promise to hold a referendum? Will he spell out those specific powers?
