Proceeding contribution from Lord Tebbit (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
My Lords, will my noble friend assure me that he is aware of the proposal that the 17 members of the eurozone should meet outside the Council of Ministers and decide among themselves by a majority upon economic policies that would affect this country, which they would then support as a bloc in the Council? Would such an arrangement constitute a substantial transfer of powers from this country such as to trigger a referendum?
