Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (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

Contrary to what we heard earlier, is it not true that a mature political class and a confident Parliament refer to the people on matters of such supreme importance? It is a sign of the lack of confidence of parliamentarians and the political class that they have refused to do so.
