Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on A Citizens’ Agenda.
A Citizens’ Agenda
If that was a none-too-subtle way of identifying my age, I confess that I did vote, and I voted on the winning side. What is important, though, is for us to have a discussion about the European Union. Do I detect from the hon. Gentleman’s views a hint that he and other members of the Conservative party would like the United Kingdom to leave the European Union? I see that there is approval for that idea on the Conservative Benches, where there is obviously a strong strain of opinion influencing the way in which Front Benchers behave.
