Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 April 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

Does the noble Lord agree that the British Government would have had to vote as part of that unanimity, thereby accepting that this would not change the nature of powers, but would then have to come back to Britain and say, ““We voted the wrong way. We will now need to have a referendum, after saying that this did not increase the powers””?
