The Government's new Sovereignty Bill will include a 'referendum lock' designed to give the British people the final say over any further transfers of power from Britain to the European Union. We will ask how likely it is that the referendum lock will be tested in the future and whether it really gives voters the key to determine whether more power is transferred from Westminster to Brussels? We will also discuss the opportunities that the new Bill provides for strengthening the role of Parliament in EU affairs.
Places are limited. If you wish to attend, please send an e-mail with your name and affiliation to: shodges@openeurope.org.uk
