Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
We had that discussion just 10 minutes ago. Of course there are changes between the Lisbon treaty and the constitution, and I have just listed some others. However, they do not equate to the difference between a man and a mouse, which is the argument here. The Spanish Prime Minister has said:"““We have not let a single substantial point of the constitutional treaty go.””" The Finnish Europe Minister has said:"““There’s nothing from the original institutional package that has been changed.””" The German Chancellor has said:"““The substance of the constitution is preserved. That is a fact.””"
