That is very interesting but I do not know how even the noble Lord can argue that the words ““changes nothing””—in the phrase, ““it is clear that the treaty changes nothing”” and in relation to the UK’s right to retain its seat on the UN Security Council, its right as a permanent member and its right to speak individual vote and veto—can be turned to mean ““changes everything””. The noble Lord and I are clearly not going to agree.
