Proceeding contribution from Viscount Astor (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 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 amendment has merit only because of the Government’s response to the previous amendment on whether there should be a referendum on the Lisbon treaty. If the Government had accepted that there should be a referendum then this amendment would be entirely irrelevant. So in a way it really is the Government’s fault for not standing up to their manifesto commitments to allow a referendum on the Lisbon treaty.
