'Never Again': Cameron Pledge On EU Treaty

[Delaproser]

Unveiling the Tories' new policy on Europe, following ratification of the Treaty, he said the new act would ensure British law takes precedence over EU law.
"We cannot hold a referendum and magically make the Lisbon Treaty itself disappear," Mr Cameron said.
But, he promised, "never again" would power be passed to the EU, without a referendum, under a Conservative government.
"This is not about Westminster striking down individual items of EU legislation," the Tory leader said.
"It is about an assurance that the final word on our laws is here in Britain."
The Conservative leader is attempting to draw a line under the referendum issue by promising no further "erosion of British sovereignty".
"We will make sure that this never, ever happens again," he said.
"Never again should it be possible for a British government to transfer power to the European Union without the say of the British people in a referendum."
Mr Cameron also said a Conservative government would aim to return some of the powers from the EU to Britain.
The party would try to get back Britain's opt-out in some areas of EU social and employment legislation, a return of criminal justice powers, and a "complete opt-out" from the EU's charter of fundamental rights, he said.
But he warned those eurosceptic MPs who have been calling for votes on a number of issues that he would not hold a "made-up referendum that would make people feel better for five minutes".
"I don't think it's right to concoct a new pretext for a referendum," he added.
