IRISH NO VOTE

Early day motion 2062, tabled 16 July 2008 by Nigel Evans (Conservative). Signed by 21 members.

That this House recognises that 53.4 per cent. of Irish voters said no to the Lisbon Treaty; notes with concern President Sarkozy's recent comments that he plans to make Ireland vote again; remembers that when French and Dutch voters rejected the EU Constitutional Treaty there was no second referendum; and calls on the Government to support the Irish electorate to ensure that the Lisbon Treaty cannot now be ratified and that it is, rightly, abandoned.

Signatures by party: Conservative 14, Labour 5, Independent 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
