Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon).


Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon)

As someone who, on many occasions, has not been over-enthusiastic about various aspects of the European Union, I ask my right hon. Friend whether he agrees that, bearing in mind what he has said about the opt-outs, many of the objections today really amount to little more than xenophobia. Some of the talk very recently about Munich, betrayal and so on is utter rubbish from start to finish.
