Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (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)

That is a very generous offer, but not on his side. These debates do not occur in isolation. We know precisely where most people stand. My hon. Friend the Member for Crewe and Nantwich (Mrs. Dunwoody) made an interesting observation, when she said that this is the place to look after our constituents. I agree with her, but we do not look after them by holding endless debates about process. We should focus on the themes established in the motion. I have some differences with Ministers.
