Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate and Debate on treaty on Lisbon Treaty (No. 3).


Lisbon Treaty (No. 3)

The answer—[Interruption.] The answer to my hon. Friend—[Hon. Members: ““She's marvellous!””] I absolutely agree—she is marvellous, and I love her to bits. The answer to my hon. Friend, with whom I have a long and close association going back some years, is that the charter does not create new rights; rather, it brings together rights that were already there, as I have just said.
