Proceeding contribution from Lord Brittan of Spennithorne (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on EU Council.
EU Council
Does my noble friend agree that, whereas, of course, the Government were fully entitled to decline to sign the new treaty, it was also very wise not to try to deny the use of the European Union institutions to those countries that chose to sign the treaty? To attempt to do so would have been to risk the use against us of qualified majority voting as the normal legislative tool in areas of vital importance to us, such as financial services, to our great detriment?
