HC Deb 02 July 1997 vol 297 c194W
Sir Richard Body

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which European Union Governments are planning to put the Amsterdam treaty to a national referendum; and what is Her Majesty's Government's policy. [6104]

Mr. Henderson

Denmark will hold a national referendum on the Amsterdam Treaty in 1998. We are not aware of any other Member State whose Government has announced that it will hold a referendum, though the situation may change. The Government does not intend to hold a referendum on the Amsterdam Treaty.
