Proceeding contribution from Lord Bannside (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that the controversy raging over the Common Market and the common agricultural policy is a smokescreen to cover up the real issue, which is the rejection of the European constitution? Will he assure the House and the people of this United Kingdom that there will be no renegotiation of the rebate because a pistol from Europe has been put to his head or our head and that he will only go forward for that which is best for Britain, because what is best for Britain will be best for Europe? Will he assure the farming community that what they have been promised will come to then and that, if anybody has to be de-CAPed, it is not British farmers, but French ones?
