Proceeding contribution from Lord Kerr of Kinlochard (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 May 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union Bill.

European Union Bill

That is a fair question in relation to, say, the euro, which is the subject of Amendment 30. If we were to decide that we wished to join the euro, it would be totally reasonable for the Minister—I would like to see the noble Lord, Lord Lamont, in this role—to say to his ECOFIN colleagues, ““We would now like to join the euro, but this is a big one and I am afraid that we will have to have a referendum on the issue””.
