Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) 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)

Perhaps the Minister will answer a question put to the Lord Chancellor that he did not really address. If a country that does not have the benefit of the protocol takes a case to the European Court of Justice, which, on the basis of the charter, makes a decision, why will that decision not become part of EU law, and therefore applicable to the United Kingdom under our general EU treaty obligations?
