Proceeding contribution from Lord Watson of Invergowrie (Non-affiliated) in the House of Lords on Friday, 15 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Information etc.) Bill [HL].
European Union (Information, etc.) Bill [HL]
My Lords, that is a very interesting question. I will have to think about it. My first reaction is that I do not think that we prioritise by nationality the cultural influences that we feel, and I guess that that is true of most Members of the House. To do so would be odd. I certainly find, because I can speak, for example, German, that I have access to that culture that I would not have if I did not speak the language, and I am sure that that is true for the noble Lord with the languages that he speaks. You do not prioritise like that; this is all part of the mix that is you. I am arguing that we should rejoice in that; we should not fear it.
