Lisbon Treaty (No. 3)

Gentleman aware that during the negotiations on the constitutional treaty—the one that the French and Dutch killed off—the Government set up a Special Standing Committee of both Houses of Parliament and invited every right hon. and hon. Member and peer to attend to hear from negotiating Ministers what was being said? Not a single Member from the right hon. Gentleman's Front Bench turned up to one of those meetings.
