The Sub-Committee considered the draft Report.

Paragraphs 1-4 were agreed to, with amendments.

It was moved by Lord Crickhowell, after paragraph 4, to insert—

"We agree with the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee's conclusion in its recent report on the "Foreign Policy Aspects of the Lisbon Treaty" that 'there is no material difference between the provisions on foreign affairs in the Constitutional Treaty which the Government made subject to approval in a referendum and those in the Lisbon Treaty on which a referendum is being denied'. We feel that this statement also applies to defence matters."

The Sub-Committee divided:
