Cameron unveils new Europe policy Cameron's 'never again' vow on EU
(10 minutes later)
Conservative leader David Cameron is unveiling his new policy on Europe after he was forced to abandon a pledge for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. David Cameron has said "never again" to powers being transferred from the UK to Brussels without a referendum.
Mr Cameron promised referendums on any future moves to "transfer further powers from Britain to the European Union" if the Tories win power. He said all future treaties would be put to a public vote as he outlined his new European policy after ruling out a referendum on the Lisbon treaty.
He also proposed a sovereignty bill to guarantee UK lawmakers "final say". He also promised a sovereignty bill if the Tories win the next election to ensure the supremacy of UK laws.
But he ruled out a "phoney" referendum on the UK's EU negotiating aims as some in his party have been demanding. And he vowed to demand powers back on employment law, the charter of fundamental rights and criminal law.
Tory sources suggest he will promise to re-negotiate some parts of EU legislation such as employment law. Mr Cameron has been forced to unveil a new set of policies on Europe after being forced to abandon a pledge for a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, which is now to come into force on 1 December.
The ratification of the treaty by the Czech Republic on Tuesday scuppered Mr Cameron's plans for a vote on it if he wins power next year. He has been accused of back tracking on a "cast iron" pledged to hold a referendum, but he said: "I did not promise a referendum come what may because once the Lisbon Treaty becomes law there is nothing people can do about it."
And he said he did not want to "treat people like fools" by pretending that was not the case.
