Europe will not divide us, says Foreign Secretary of Britain Miliband - by Hélène Mulholland
David Miliband today warned against "institutional navel-gazing" in Europe as he made clear the government would refuse to bow to calls for a referendum on the EU draft treaty. The foreign secretary used a keynote address to the Labour conference to tell delegates that Europe would not divide his party as it had divided the Tories.Despite mounting pressure by the Tories, Mr Miliband held the government line that the EU draft treaty would go to parliament, rather than be put to a vote of the general public.
