Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 January 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on European Communities (Finance) Bill.


European Communities (Finance) Bill

Let me rephrase my comment. If the hon. Gentleman had heard my earlier remark, he would know that the problem for him is that that was precisely the position of his party's Prime Minister in May 2005—passionately pro-EU, passionately pro-enlargement, and telling the House of Commons that the British rebate was fully justified and non-negotiable.
