Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House (Lisbon Treaty).
Business of the House (Lisbon Treaty)
The hon. Member for Ellesmere Port and Neston (Andrew Miller) has summarised his argument effectively. He thinks that the debates on the Bill should be about matters of national importance and that Labour Members should decide which issues are of national importance. Those issues will then be imposed on this House, and if anybody else in the Chamber thinks that there are matters of national importance that the debates do not address, then that will be tough.
