Proceeding contribution from Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon).


Intergovernmental Conference (Lisbon)

The Prime Minister knows that the common fisheries policy has been a disaster in Scotland. It has also been a serious impediment to Norway or Iceland ever joining the EU. Having chosen to disregard that red line issue for the Scottish Government, will the Prime Minister tell the House what advantages he foresees by enshrining the common fisheries policy as an exclusive treaty competence?
