Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on European Affairs.


European Affairs

Does the right hon. Gentleman accept that it was Margaret Thatcher in 1984 who first called for the European Community to develop an integrated foreign policy? She took the lead in that, and in the Single European Act in 1986 she also supported the idea of self-amendment when supported by unanimity. Why does the right hon. Gentleman sound like a ranting Labour Europhobe of the 1980s?
