Proceeding contribution from Lord Bruce of Bennachie (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

I am grateful. Is not the situation worse than the right hon. Gentleman says? The Conservative party is suggesting that, if the treaty were ratified, functioning and operational, and there were a change of Government in this country in two years’ time—[Hon. Members: ““Hear, hear.””] They say ““Hear, hear””, but they would disrupt the workings of 27 member states and effectively terminate Britain’s constructive engagement in Europe.
