Labour MP for Grimsby Austin Mitchell – chairman of the Labour Euro Safeguards Campaign – complained that the Government was “trying to pull a fast one†by smuggling the enormous 448 article Constitution through Parliament in the form of the five clause Bill on the referendum.
Mr Mitchell said: “The European Union Bill has been presented to Labour’s strong group of Eurosceptics as something they should support because it provides for the referendum.
“We are being conned because it is far more than this. The Foreign Office … has announced that ‘no further legislation will be required for the enactment of this treaty’.
“So Parliament rushes this Bill through, and bingo! the Constitution which Tony Blair has already signed is in force without further discussion, if the people vote for it next year.â€
