Proceeding contribution from Ian Taylor (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 2).


Treaty of Lisbon (No. 2)

On the subject of competition, does the right hon. Lady agree that the key element is to reinforce the power of the Commission? The answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Forest of Dean (Mr. Harper) is effectively that bringing that clearly into the body of the treaty reinforces the Commission's power. The one thing that I am sure my colleagues are keen on is having a stronger and more effective Commission, without which there will be no liberalisation within the European Union.
