A House of Lords Committee is being challenged by a group of Lords over the composition of a committee advising the British government on the EU not-a-constitution.
The committee currently meets in secret and 16 out of the 18 committee members are in favour of the EU constitution. Two of them even have EU pensions and under EU rules they could have their pensions taken off them if they don’t promote the EU.
The committee is deliberately made up of eurofederalists and peers with a vested interest in Federal Europe to ensure the EU not-a-constitution’s safe passage through both houses and deny us the referendum we were promised.
On a related note, the Irish Republic will be holding a referendum in 2008 despite concerted attempts by the eurofederalists in the Irish government who have been trying to find a way of not having one.
