Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Browne (Liberal Democrat) 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
Has not the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe (Mr. Clarke) perfectly summarised the Conservatives’ position? In the 18 years for which they had a majority of MPs in this House and could have had a referendum at any point they wanted, they chose not to—but just at this point, when they do not have enough MPs to win a referendum vote, they have suddenly become in favour of one.
