Proceeding contribution from David Heathcoat-Amory (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on treaty on Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4).


Treaty of Lisbon (No. 4)

Does the Secretary of State agree with Commissioner Verheugen's estimate in October 2006 that the cost to business of EU legislation and regulation was £405 billion a year—more than some other estimates of the value of the single market? If he does not agree with the commissioner's estimate, what is his estimate of the burden to European business of excessive over-regulation, which is used as an excuse for the single market?
