On 20 April 2004, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair, announced in the House of Commons that a referendum on the ratification of the proposed treaty would be held if it was agreed by the European Council. Such agreement was reached in June 2004, but no firm date was set for the referendum. On 29 October 2004, the Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said that the referendum would be held in early 2006, providing Labour were re-elected in the 2005 general election. He ruled out 2005 as this would coincide with the UK holding the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union.
On 23 November 2004 in the Queen's Speech it was announced that a bill paving the way for a referendum on the EU Constitution would be brought before Parliament. Following the French and Dutch rejection of the treaty, Jack Straw announced on 6 June 2005, to the House of Commons, that the plans for the referendum in early 2006 had been shelved.
The issue became moot following the replacement of the proposed constitution with the agreement of the text of the Treaty of Lisbon on 19 October 2007.
Dont forget the French and the Dutch had already opposed the Treaty (they got a vote...) as did the Irish - first time

The United Kingdom referendum on the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe was expected to take place in 2006 to decide whether the United Kingdom should ratify the proposed European Constitution (Constitution of the European Union). Following the rejection of the Constitution by voters in France in May 2005 and in the Netherlands in June 2005, the referendum was postponed indefinitely.
