Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoddart of Swindon (Independent Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 8 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Implications of Withdrawal) Bill [HL].


European Union (Implications of Withdrawal) Bill [HL]

My Lords, the noble Lord mentioned old-fashioned Tories being against membership of Europe. I remind him that until 1985 the Labour Party had a policy of withdrawal, and it was the Tory party that took us into Europe and which has consistently given us more Europe.
