PROCEDURE ON THE EU CONSTITUTIONAL TREATY

That this House notes the exceptional importance of the events of the week of 9th June 2008 to the future independence of the UK and the supremacy of Parliament; welcomes the judicial review, obtained by Stuart Wheeler, which seeks to secure the promised referendum on the Lisbon Treaty; further looks forward to the debate in the other House and hopes that their Lordships will support the promised referendum; further notes that the Irish people have been allowed a referendum, the results of which will be declared on 13th June; and urges the Government to start to rebuild people's trust in politicians by giving people a vote, as promised, on the Lisbon Treaty, which is in all material effects the EU Constitution that was previously rejected.
