Blair's referendum must be on the Constitution

Following reports in the media about the Prime Minister planning to hold a referendum on Europe, the Leader of the Conservatives in the European Parliament, Jonathan Evans MEP, said:

"There must be a referendum on whether Britain should sign up to the EU Constitution, not on some bogus issue of staying in or leaving Europe.

The Constitution will transfer a huge number of powers from London to Brussels. It will mark the biggest change in the way Britain is run for over 300 years and the people of this country must have a say.

Tony Blair must give British people their say on the EU Constitution instead of, once again, trying to deceive them into believing that he has given in to their demands.

The Prime Minister should come clean now - will he hold a referendum on the Constitution or not?"
