Lisbon Treaty (No. 3)

Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate and Debates on treaty on Lisbon Treaty (No. 3).
Will the Lord Chancellor confirm that every country that is a member of the European Union is also a signatory of the European convention on human rights? Indeed, I believe that every single one has incorporated it. In view of that, what is the purpose of the charter of fundamental rights? If it is innocuous, as he says it is, why have the Government negotiated a protocol that will supposedly make it ineffective?
