Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 5).


Treaty of Lisbon (No. 5)

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker. Within the constraints laid down by the business motion, which the House has agreed to, may I, through you, enter a plea to colleagues in all parts of the House? There are before us important groups of amendments on three subjects, and it would be extremely unfortunate if the Committee were to spend all its time discussing external relations and we were not to get on to at least the defence amendments. Are there any entreaties that you can make to Members of the House to move the business forward so that we may discuss what the Government clearly would like to discuss—all parts of the treaty?
