Proceeding contribution from Lord Hunt of Wirral (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, I am really very pleased at the noble Lord’s support for this amendment, but is there a simple, easy-to-understand leaflet which he and I could use when we go knocking on doors, as we do from time to time, and somebody says, ““Now what is all this about the treaty of Lisbon?””? I have not been able to put my hands on something so as to be able to say, ““Here is a leaflet, it’s all explained in here””. I remember Mr Vaz saying, ““All we want is a simple card with five points saying what the benefits are””.
