Member, including the right hon. Yes, the right hon. Gentleman has received it. The letter asks the House to be the first to ratify a treaty in the interests of central Europe. I would like to know what answer the right hon.
Gentleman proposes to give the federation.
We would agree tomorrow the matters in the treaty that were genuinely about enlargement, reweighting of votes and the size of the Commission. We will not agree to ratify the relentless march towards full political union to which the Foreign Secretary has agreed. Moreover, any decision by us to take part will be a sovereign national decision. The point was put to the right hon. Gentleman by Jonathan Dimbleby on Sunday.
