Lisbon Treaty (No.1)

My hon. Friend makes the important point that the Government did not want these provisions. I have a list of the 40 amendments tabled by the Government representative at the Convention on the Future of Europe, the right hon. Member for Neath (Mr. Hain), of which only two succeeded: one of them deleted ““safety”” and inserted ““security””. If that is a negotiating triumph, does my hon. Friend wonder what a failure might have been like?
