Proceeding contribution from Andy Burnham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Communities (Finance) Bill.


European Communities (Finance) Bill

Given the thrust of the hon. Gentleman's remarks, does he agree with the comments of his party leader in a speech to the conference of the Movement for European Reform on 6 March this year? He said:"““The prospect of eventual Turkish membership is hugely important—not just for Turkey itself, but to demonstrate to the Muslim world that the EU is not an exclusive Christian club.””"
