Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) 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)
As the record will show, I said that we have always taken the view that if legislation has constitutional significance, there should be a referendum. However, I also made it clear that once this changed from being a constitutional treaty to an amending treaty, it lost that constitutional status.
