Proceeding contribution from Hilary Benn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 27 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 8).
Treaty of Lisbon (No. 8)
No, there is not. The treaty does not change the shared competence and qualified majority voting applies. However—I hope that the hon. Gentleman will accept this, on reflection—it institutionalises the point that the EU, as it moves forward, recognises that tackling climate change will be an important part of what it will need to do.
