European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Miliband (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
I, too, very much enjoyed the right hon. Gentleman's speeches when he spoke for the Opposition, and it is nice to be able to ask him some questions now. Schedule 1 of the Bill is entitled,"““Treaty provisions where amendment removing a need for unanimity, consensus or common accord would attract referendum””," and it lists things such as the appointment of judges and advocates-general of the European Court of Justice. Is the right hon. Gentleman really saying that we are going to have a referendum in this country if his Government, or any future Government, decide that they want to transfer competence on that issue?
