  BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE (LISBON TREATY) (No. 7) - Treaty of Lisbon (No. 8)
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  
  
  
  <p>The Aye-voters failed to carry an <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/glossary/?gl=114">amendment</a> criticising the Government's policy towards the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_lisbon">Treaty of Lisbon</a> in respect of that Treaty's provisions concerning climate change.</p>
  
  <p>However, it is notable that in this instance the mainly Conservative Aye-voters appeared to be urging the "EU and the member states to do more together" to combat climate change. Accordingly, this amendment was not principally an attempt to limit devolution of power to the European Union although it did serve for some to attempt to frustrate the Government's efforts to ratify the Lisbon Treaty.</p>
