REFERENDUM ON EUROPEAN TREATIES

Motion Text

That this House, noting that the German Presidency is promoting negotiations for a new European Treaty based on the substance of the rejected European Constitutional Treaty, repudiates the principle and content of that Constitutional Treaty; insists that none of that Treaty shall be enacted in the United Kingdom; and insists that, before ratification, any new European Treaty and the interconnected existing European Treaties shall be put to a referendum, authorised by Parliament, of the electorate of the United Kingdom.
