Proceeding contribution from Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union (Amendment) Bill.
European Union (Amendment) Bill
No. The problem for the Conservatives is that by opposing yet another sensible European treaty, they seem to many foreign observers to be still in the wilderness—a place where Britain's influence on international affairs simply could not be exercised. That is why the Foreign Secretary was right to make the positive case for the European Union.
