Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
As I will be in Warsaw this weekend, may I welcome the Prime Minister’s generous statements about helping eastern Europe and contrast them with the rather mean approach of the Leader of the Opposition when he said that we should pay even less to Europe to help poorer countries? Is the Prime Minister aware that 19 out of the 25 member states are now governed by sister parties of the Conservative party? The report in The Times today saying that leading Conservatives have set up their latest no campaign to renegotiate the treaties and pull us out of Europe is thus deeply alarming? While Britain should be extending its influence in Europe, the Conservative party wants us out of the European Union.
