Proceeding contribution from David Heathcoat-Amory (Conservative) 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)

Many proposals languish for far too long after member states have decisively turned them down. One of the problems is that the Commission never gives up. It waits for its moment and then introduces failed proposals—in the case that we are considering, a failed constitution. I do not agree with the hon. Gentleman's premise. Indeed, all the studies show that there has been no problem with essential decision making. The Minister did not advance a single instance of the inadequacy of current decision making. What proposals are being blocked by the existing mechanism?
