Proceeding contribution from Mark Lazarowicz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on A Citizens’ Agenda.

A Citizens’ Agenda

It is easy to make points about the number of committees. I daresay that, if one added up all the UK Government committees or those of any other member state, one would probably find that there were more than those at European level. However, I do not believe that the right hon. Gentleman wants to withdraw from the British state in the way in which he apparently wants to withdraw from the European Union. Would not he do better to turn his attention to devising constructive reform rather than advocating withdrawal from the European Union?
