Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on European Union Bill.

European Union Bill

Might I just finish my point on clause 6? My hon. Friend and I have had many exchanges here and in the Tea Room over a number of years, and my affection for him grows with each passing moment. Government amendment 57 calls for a referendum with reference to an extension of the powers of the European public prosecutor's office, but clause 6(4)(c) already lists the requirement for a referendum when there is any change in the treaty involving the participation of the UK with the EPPO. That is just the technical muddle. I remember sitting on the Government Benches, where the hon. Member for Broadmoor is now sitting.
