Treaty of Lisbon (No. 7)

Proceeding contribution from Mark Hendrick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 February 2008. It occurred during Debates on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 7).
One of the treaty's many proposals for improving the European Union is the proposal to move away from six-month presidencies. As there are 27 member states, and as it is likely that there will be more in future, does the right hon. Gentleman think that it makes sense to have six-month presidencies—to have this game of musical chairs, as my hon. Friend the Minister for Europe put it?
