Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) 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
My hon. Friend is asking how the Liberal Democrats would vote if there were a referendum, but as the main tenor of his argument has been that our manifesto committed us to a referendum and to arguing for a yes vote, he should, in all honesty, be standing before this Committee saying that he would argue for a yes vote in such a referendum—unless he wants his voters not to take his word at face value.
