European Union Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bernard Jenkin (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on European Union Bill.
My right hon. Friend is making an able demolition of these unacceptable amendments, but will he describe what sorts of decisions on common defence he thinks would currently trigger a referendum, because it is difficult to see how such decisions would constitute a transfer of power under the rather narrow definition set out in the Bill?
