Proceeding contribution from Jim Murphy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intergovernmental Conference.


Intergovernmental Conference

Europe plays an enormous role in supporting the economy of Northern Ireland. Although the issue of cross-border co-operation is, of course, part of the constitutional settlement between north and south, we are not attracted to the level of co-operation to which the hon. Gentleman has alluded by following the Republic of Ireland in being the only other member state of the EU to sign up to having a referendum.
