Select Committee on European Union Minutes of Evidence


Examination of Witnesses (Questions 40 - 43)

WEDNESDAY 16 JANUARY 2008

Lord Rooker

  Q40  Earl of Arran: There is not likely to be any change.

  Lord Rooker: As I say, if I had anything to do with it there would be, but I have not. The Government has no proposals.

  Q41  Chairman: At the moment.

  Lord Rooker: The Government has no proposals to make a change to this.

  Q42  Earl of Arran: You can always resign on this issue.

  Lord Rooker: It is a free vote issue and therefore it is something for, let us say, members of Parliament to raise at some time.

  Q43  Chairman: Is there anything that anybody wants to develop? That is it, Minister, unless you have got any final words of comfort for us.

  Lord Rooker: No.

  Chairman: Thank you very much again, Minister.
