European Union (Amendment) Bill

My hon. Friend appears to be explaining to the House that he has a personal opt-out from the 2005 manifesto. If that is the case, does he not accept that one of the many reasons why the treaty is not a treaty providing for a constitution, on which we did indeed promise a referendum, is precisely that we have secured opt-outs from several of its provisions, and that several of its other provisions are wholly different from the provisions in the constitutional treaty?
