David Cameron has laid out the Conservatives stance over the Lisbon Treaty in the wake of his party's somewhat embarrassing U-turn over a referendum.
"We cannot hold a referendum and magically make the Lisbon Treaty itself disappear," Mr Cameron told reporters today.
But, he promised, "never again" would power be passed to the EU, without a referendum, under a Conservative government.
"This is not about Westminster striking down individual items of EU legislation. It is about an assurance that the final word on our laws is here in Britain. We will make sure that this never, ever happens again," he said.
