Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 March 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.


European Council

We secured all our negotiating objectives, and made sure that the constitutional treaty—as it was talked about—did not become a constitutional treaty in the end. As for the Conservative party, I accept that it gave an iron-cast guarantee that there would be a referendum on the European Union, but, like the Conservatives' iron-cast guarantees on so many other things, it fell away.
