The problem is that there are good things about the convention but it is being distorted. In fact, it is more than that: it is being corrupted by the way things have been developing. If we are not careful, we are going to do the same thing to the convention that we did when Whitehall gold-plated regulations that came from Brussels over the years and turned many people in this country against the European Union. In my view, we are going to do the same thing with the European convention, so the Government have to take seriously what their intentions should be.
