Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on National Referendum on the European Union.


National Referendum on the European Union

I am sure that we still have sufficient time before the Foreign Secretary catches the plane to get him a DVD of his 2008 speech on the Second Reading of the legislation on the Lisbon treaty. He can then blush in the privacy of the aeroplane and probably answer the question as to why he was for referendums then and is against them now, the difference being that now he is in government.
