Proceeding contribution from Lord Blackwell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 May 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.


European Union (Amendment) Bill

This sentence was, as the noble Baroness said, long fought over, and she fought very strongly for it. The words ““changes nothing”” are followed by a specific list of things which do not change. What the sentence does not say is what does change, which is the influence and effect of the United Kingdom’s position in the United Nations as a result of this treaty.
