Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Lisbon Treaty (No.1).


Lisbon Treaty (No.1)

I made it absolutely clear that I felt—I shall outline this when I make some progress in my speech—that having the benefits of taking EU co-operation forward through the new treaty arrangements alongside the protection of UK interests negotiated through our opt-ins on a range of justice and home affairs areas was the right balance to deliver the sorts of results that we wanted.
