Lisbon Treaty — Referendum (No. 2) — rejected — 5 Mar 2008 at 18:30
The majority No voters rejected an amendment[1] to the European Union (Amendment) Bill.
MP Austin Mitchell commented on the amendment which was the subject of this division stating:
- Amendment No. 296 provides for an enabling power to have another referendum, so would that not satisfy the Liberal desire to have their in/out referendum?
The amendment was another mechanism by which some MPs tried to force a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. A previous attempt had also failed.
