Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on Hague Programme.

Hague Programme

I apologise for missing the hon. and learned Gentleman’s opening remarks. I am just trying to be clear about Conservative party policy. There is no objection to the principle of co-operation between EU member states on these issues. The objection is solely about the use of qualified majority voting. As the hon. and learned Gentleman will know, however, if we look at the results of QMV over the last 20 years, we find that Britain has been on the winning side on almost all occasions, so what is he afraid of?
