Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) 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
Let me go through the clauses of the Bill. [Interruption.] I will be happy to give way later. Clause 1 defines the Lisbon treaty. Clause 2 amends the European Communities Act 1972, which gives EU treaties legal effect in the UK, to include the Lisbon treaty. We gave effect to the four previous treaties governing our role in the European Union in exactly the same way.
