Mark Garnier was joined by Conservative MEP Malcolm Harbour and other local activists to gather signatures calling for a referendum on the EU Constitution. The petition was signed by many local residents, angry at the Government’s manifesto U-turn to hold a referendum on the crucial Lisbon Treaty – a document that changes Britain’s relationship with the EU.
Mark has been a long time campaigner for Wyre Forest residents’ right to be able to demonstrate their views on the EU through the referendum – as has the Conservative Party as a whole – but still Gordon Brown refuses to honour his manifesto promise.
