Lisbon Treaty (No. 3)

Proceeding contribution from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate and Debates on treaty on Lisbon Treaty (No. 3).
As regards the European court of fundamental rights, duplication has been suggested. Would it not have been better had the money that is being spent on this been put towards the European courts that already exist, which have a backlog of cases? As for the powers of the European court of fundamental rights, would the British people be able, for instance, to go to that court to complain about a governing party that promised a referendum on the European constitution but then denied it to us a year or so later?
