Proceeding contribution from Peter Tapsell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
Surely the Prime Minister is being too modest. I welcome his belated application to join the Eurosceptic club, to which most of our fellow countrymen are already subscribers. I invite him not to leave the European Union, however discredited it may become, but instead to carry through a great swathe of changes in our legislative relationships with Europe so that Britain can continue its historic role as a friendly, commercial, self-governing democracy.
