Treaty of Lisbon (No. 5)

The right hon. Gentleman is extraordinarily kind. We have Rotherham connections. In an article in the Financial Times, the Conservative MEP Caroline Jackson said:"““On the continent, the Conservatives now have a bad reputation (rapidly getting worse) for crass and offensive behaviour””." That is not true of the right hon. Gentleman in the House, although it is true of the Conservatives on the continent. Does he not agree that in the treaty, any move to the so-called passerelle depends, again, on unanimity? He is cherry picking bits of the treaty but not reading them across. He is a great speaker, but a poor lawyer.
