European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 April 2011. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
Does the noble Lord agree that the British Government would have had to vote as part of that unanimity, thereby accepting that this would not change the nature of powers, but would then have to come back to Britain and say, ““We voted the wrong way. We will now need to have a referendum, after saying that this did not increase the powers””?
