I defend EU treaty position , indefensible I know but --------

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has defended his stance on the EU Reform Treaty, saying key opt-outs mean UK law will not be over-ruled by Europe.

Mr Brown told the Commons MPs would be given the chance next year to debate ratification of the treaty whose text was agreed in Portugal last week.

He also said the government would oppose further EU institutional change.

The Tories called for a referendum on the issue and accused ministers of breaking their manifesto commitment.
