Proceeding contribution from Ian Davidson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on Business of the House (Lisbon Treaty).


Business of the House (Lisbon Treaty)

Does the right hon. Gentleman remember ““Spitting Image”” and the figure of David Steel in the top pocket of David Owen? Is not that the position of the small boy from Westminster school who is in the top pocket of the Prime Minister? Given that the Liberals are now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Government in this matter, why should the Government bother listening to Parliament?
