Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 December 2008. It occurred during Debate on European Affairs.

European Affairs

I am not too sure of what I am being accused. The hon. Lady's excitement about Europe's development shows that she believes it to be right for the British people. However, the last time we had a vote on the matter was in 1975, when we voted to stay in the EU. If everything is as brilliantly rosy as she says, should not the British people be consulted on the next step—the Lisbon treaty? Should not they have another say? After, all it has been 33 years.
