Proceeding contribution from Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 June 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
During his 10 years in office, and despite his undoubted instincts, the Prime Minister has been forced to keep Britain out of the single currency and the Schengen agreement. He has negotiated, with some pride, opt-outs on immigration and asylum, and he has now reported to the House his satisfaction at securing further opt-outs for the UK. Does he now accept that it is clear that an à la carte Europe is, and will continue to be, in the UK’s interests?
