HC Deb 09 March 2001 vol 364 c392W
Mr. Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will include the texts of the treaties proposed to be amended by the treaty of Nice as they would be if that treaty came into force in the Command Paper in which the treaty of Nice is published. [152041]

Mr. Vaz

The Command Paper will contain the treaty of Nice which amends the treaty on European Union, the treaties establishing the European Communities and certain related Acts.

The intergovernmental conference did not prepare a consolidated version, and therefore it will not be included in the Command Paper. But we expect the Office for Official Publications of the European Union to publish a version in due course. We will place this in the Libraries of both Houses as soon as it becomes available.
