Proceeding contribution from Lord Blackwell (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
My Lords, the noble Baroness says that no one challenges that. I put it to her that all of us who have spoken so far in favour of the referendum have challenged her point. If treaties that contained exactly the same clauses were to be replaced by one constitutional treaty, why is the legal effect any different if the treaty clauses here are exactly the same? It is a nonsensical argument.
