Orders of the Day — The Economy and Pensions — 14 Nov 2007 at 18:45

Stewart Jackson MP, Peterborough voted with the majority (No).

The Aye-voters failed to carry a motion introduced by Vincent Cable (Acting Leader of the Liberal Democrats) to add an amendment to the traditional address offered to thank the Queen for her speech at the Opening of Parliament.

This amendment would have expressed regret that the Queen’s speech did not announce proposals for a referendum on the United Kingdom’s continued membership of the European Union.

The House divided: Ayes 68, Noes 464.
