EDM number 1320 in 1989-90, proposed by John Biffen on 20/07/1990.

That this House, deeply conscious of the democratic rights of the British people and confident of their continued capacity for successful democratic self-government, declines to support any revision of the Rome Treaty that would require a further transfer of power from Parliament to the institutions of the European Community; and specifically rejects those proposals in the Delors Report which call for a European Central Bank, permanently locked exchange rates and a single European currency.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
