‘Chris Huhne, the committed Europhile and Liberal ‘Democrat MP (who is to stand again for the leadership of the Liberal ‘Democrats), said 11.53 pm on ‘This Week’ on BBC 1 Television on 18.10.2007 “I do not want a federal Europe – but as soon as the EU ‘Amending Treaty’ is on the Statute Book – I would like to see a referendum on our membership of the EU.”

In response to his comment Labour MP Diane Abbott and Michael Portillo, the former Conservative MP (both also guests on the 'This Week' programme), said “Only because you think it is easier to win than one on the EU Treaty.”
