Proceeding contribution from Mark Hendrick (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

I promised a referendum on a constitutional treaty, not on an amending treaty. In my contribution, I gave a long list of differences between the two treaties. As for what is substantively the same, if the hon. Gentleman means the replacement in the previous constitution of ““ecu”” with ““euro”” and ““European Community”” with ““European Union””, what is the big deal?
