Proceeding contribution from Nia Griffith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4).
Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4)
Indeed. The hon. Member for Rayleigh (Mr. Francois) did not let me intervene on him in the previous debate during which that individual was mentioned. Apart from speaking about the constitution and the treaty, Giscard d'Estaing also stated clearly that"““Britain has also been allowed to be the odd one out whenever it feels like it.””" That is an important feature of the treaty: we can have our cake and eat it. We have got what we want from the negotiations. That is why I commend the treaty to the House and I will not vote for the amendment.
