Proceeding contribution from Stephen Gilbert (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way, and I do represent a fishing port. Does he agree with David Blackburn of The Spectator that the Bill"““would introduce a watertight referendum lock on future EU treaties””—" perhaps salt-watertight—"““I doubt whether the Lady herself could have done much better in the circumstances””?"
