QUEEN’S SPEECH (MOTION FOR AN ADDRESS): Adjourned Debate on Question [6th November].
|
[Until 7.00 p.m.]
|
|
| |
Motion made, and Question proposed, That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, as follows:
|
|
|
|
| |
We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
in Parliament assembled, beg leave to offer our humble thanks to Your Majesty for the Gracious Speech which Your Majesty has
addressed to both Houses of Parliament—(Mr Richard Caborn).
|
|
| |
As Amendments to the Address, at end add—
|
|
|
|
| |
‘but humbly regret that the Gracious Speech fails to set out a clear vision on the future of economic policy, contains no
measures to develop Britain’s competitiveness, includes proposals that will damage enterprise, and does not contain any measures
to reduce youth unemployment and to make significant inroads into the number of people on benefits who could work; condemn
the absence of measures to ensure real improvements in the public services to give people power over their lives and generate
greater value for money for taxpayers; and further regret the absence of measures in the Gracious Speech to tackle the pensions
crisis to which Government policy has contributed.’.
|
|
|
|
| |
‘but humbly regret that the Gracious Speech fails to announce proposals for a referendum on the United Kingdom’s continued
membership of the European Union.’.
|
|
| |
As an Amendment to Dr Vincent Cable’s proposed Amendment, at end add—
|
|
|
|
| |
‘which despite a No vote arising from any such referendum would not necessitate automatic withdrawal from the European Union
because such a No vote would then be on the Reform Treaty, devised and agreed in secrecy by the European elite, which undermines
the sovereignty of the United Kingdom and its Parliament and its electorate and consists of all the now existing European
Treaties and is, as the European Scrutiny Committee has reported, “substantially equivalent” to the original Constitutional
Treaty on which a referendum was promised by the Government and any such No vote would properly lead to a new Intergovernmental
Conference and the fundamental renegotiation of the existing treaties as they now stand.’.
|
|
|
Proposed subject for debate: The Economy and Pensions
|
|
Debate may continue until 7.00 p.m. If an amendment is disposed of at or after 7.00 p.m., a further amendment selected by
the Speaker may be moved, and the question will be put without debate.
